In this book of poems by Robert Bringhurst, the poet ruminates upon the nature of Zen Buddhist thought by turning over the stones of its history and pre-history, while echoing the voices of its philosopher-monks in his own poetic voice.

Printed in Meridien in three colors onto dampened Moulin du Verger, a French handmade paper. The text is augmented by two hand-sensitized platinum photographs by Carolee Campbell. The limp paper binding uses Barcham Green’s Renaissance V paper, handmade at the Hayle Mill in England, together with a rough Moulin du Verger handmade chaff paper. The book is enclosed in a protective case of Renaissance III paper over boards and lined with a handmade Japanese melon-vine paper.
