Renowned for his popular novels, Jim Harrison (1937–2016) was also widely acclaimed for the “renegade genius” of his powerful, expressive poems. Inspired by his many years of Zen practice, Harrison’s first collection of poetry directly inspired by his many years of Zen practice—After Ikkyū—is at once heartfelt and thought-provoking, the words of a deeply sincere seeker of truth even. Embracing the imperfections of the world we live in, After Ikkyū explores themes on human and animal nature, transformation and impermanence, and more plainly, the ubiquity of strife, struggle, and death and dying within the natural world—an ever-present condition which, despite our denial, rumbles in the hearts of each and every living being.
This audiobook edition is read by the author himself, an immortal treasure from one of America's most celebrated authors.
Running time: 1 hour, 6 minutesAuthor BioJim Harrison is the author of numerous novels, including Legends of the Fall, Julip, and Wolf: A False Memoir. His most recent previous book of poetry is The Theory and Practice of Rivers.
