Description: This is an incredible book of poetry about Ikkyu, a much-revered Zen master from Japan. It isn't your typical Zen/Ch'an poetry though- at times it has the flavor of Bukowski, full of raw descriptions of sex and drinking. He was an old man who fell in love with a blind teenage prostitute. A must read.
