Mountains and Rivers Without End

Description:

A consummate work. Truly remarkable - a work spanning decades of the poet's explorations, across roles, identities and lives. Particularly notes may lay in the poem "Ma" and the inscription from the Buddhavatamsaka Sutra. Overall a great work, exploring the very boundaries and frontiers of poetry.
