Zen Brushpoems connects the creative insights of haiku-like poetry with the dynamic interplay of the written word and painted image. This subtle and profound medium of poetic expression has been inspired by the revolutionary work of Paul Reps. Each of the 100 brushpoems in this book is a statement, a declaration, an answer, and finally a question whose purpose is to evoke rather thatn describe, to suggest rather than explain, to open rather than close. Like haiku, these brushpoems are deceptively simple. But, if approached with a gentle receptivity, they will resonate deeper and deeper until they begin to fill with the Zen-like awareness that resides so unnoticed in everyday consciousness.   102 pages
