About this title

Synopsis

In this book, eighteen authors from a dozen countries interpret Richard Berengarten's 'Changing' (2016), a large-scale poetic mosaic written in honour of the I Ching, the first of the Confucian classics of ancient China. 'Changing' is a work hewn out of the accrual of presence and a sagacious response to our anxious age. -MIKE BARRETT // Isn't this book's ultimate aim to contribute to a change in how we think ourselves and our world? -PAUL SCOTT DERRICK // 'Changing' blazes a new path for cross-cultural dialogue between Eastern and Western poetry and poetics. -MING DONG GU // The tone is rich, mature, and generous, but also personal and personable. -ELEANOR GOODMAN // In Berengarten's words, we must plant our feet deeply and firmly in "this here now." -TZE-KI HON // A major contribution to modern English poetry -JEREMY HOOKER // An ongoing revolution occurring in the depth of one's heart in the reality of the present -SOPHIA KATZ // Every poem a microcosm -LUCAS KLEIN // A life-path book -HANK LAZER // A sustained outpouring of captured and contemplated moments. -OWEN LOWERY// A visionary poem and an ars poetica -RODERICK MAIN // Commonplace light becomes transformative, radiant, miraculous. -PASCHALIS NIKOLAOU // 'The Book of Changes' continuously inspires fresh insights. Berengarten continues this great tradition. -GEOFFREY REDMOND // Patterned on the combined constancy and delicate fragility of the human heart. -HEYONG SHEN // Richard Berengarten is the latest in a long line of distinguished writers who have looked to the I Ching for creative sustenance. -RICHARD J. SMITH // It makes sense to read the Yijing-inspired poetry of 'Changing' in the light of the Jewish prophetical tradition -RICO SNELLER // Steeped in the Chinese classic's wider, deeper and higher spheres of influence. -TAN CHEE LAY // A sound boat in which to cross the Great River called Change. -ALAN TRIST AND BOB DEVINE
