<b>Pause, breathe, and savor the quiet beauty of Saigy&#333;,one of Japan's most quintessential poets, in this celebration of nature and Buddhist insight.</b><br/><br/>Born in the twelfth century during a time of great political upheaval and warfare, Saigy&#333; made the unusual decision in his youth to resign from his respectable post as a guard to the emperor&rsquo;s family and pursue a life of Buddhist renunciation, wilderness wandering, and poetry. Over the course of his lifetime, he became one of Japan&rsquo;s most celebrated poets. Today, his spare poems of spiritual longing and aching identification with the natural world continue to inspire fathomless, ineffable emotion in readers all over the world.<br/><br/>With 193 poems on 11 themes like the moon, journeys, mountain abodes, love, and the dreamlike world, <i>Blossom Awakening</i> reveals Saigy&#333; as a spiritual seeker who gave his life to the artist&rsquo;s path. Translators Peter Levitt and Kazuaki Tanahashi present their English renderings with the original Japanese text and offer commentary that illuminates the political, religious, and literary dimensions of Saigy&#333;&rsquo;s life and work.

ODD JADE was created in despair but finished in wonder.<br/><br/> The PURPOSE with ODD JADE is two-folded:<br/><br/> 01. To share her journey with the mortal world.<br/> 02. To be the voice to those who still haven't found theirs yet.<br/><br/> Her being deals with expressions & feelings that are all related to standing out from the crowd. Knowingly being a different persona but that she, nevertheless, is courageously enough to explore her own path and mission in life.<br/><br/> In doing so, she fundamentally needs to stay true to the nature of who she really is, rather than turning into the version she believes the society wants her to be.<br/><br/> I have come to the conclusion that my job, here on Mother Earth, in this lifetime, is to reveal her true nature and I'll spend the remaining years of my life doing so.

<b>A stunning poetry collection from black&write! fellowship winner Dakota Feirer.</b><br/><br/>In this breathtaking debut collection, Bundjalung and Gumbaynggirr man Dakota Feirer potently explores the legacy of generational trauma and the cultural wisdom of First Nations people.
