Читать книгу St. Nadie in Winter - Terrance Keenan - Страница 6

Acknowledgments

Titles for poems in Part One are lines from an essay by Alistair Reid on the death of his father.

Titles for poems in Part Two, which accompany selections from The Twenty-One Lullabies of St. Nadie, are from Blake’s Proverbs of Hell.

Titles for poems in Part Three are from the Venerable Eido Shimano Roshi’s Five Ways To Live Happily.

The Cambios poems were first published in 1979 in my book by that tide by the Zephyr Press.

The drawings accompanying each part are by the author and are done with a hawk wing feather and India ink.

I wish to thank my editor, Jan Johnson, whose idea this book was, for her good faith and trust; Gary Hill for his invaluable and blunt critique; my wife, Jane, for her meticulous reading and loving support; my son, Conor, for his moral and technical support; and my daughter, Bryna, for her open-hearted understanding.

My deep gratitude goes also to my teachers, the Venerable Eido Shimano Roshi and the Venerable Roko Ni Osho Sherry Chayat, for permission to quote from their book, Endless Vow: The Zen Path of Soen Nakagawa; for their rigorous support of my practice; and for their profound teaching. May true Dharma continue.
