Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | A Forest in His Pocket by Ray Cicetti is a brilliant debut book from an outstanding poet. Through the poems in this collection, Cicetti invites readers to join him as he shares a narrative of spiritual discernment and growth. Informed by Zen teachings, filled with love, and focused on ultimate happiness, these poems are verified by personal experience and passed from poet to reader just as Zen teachings are passed from master to disciple. These are poems of people, place, and self-realization, powered by elegance and touches of humor. Each poem is rich in imagery, skillfully compressed, and superbly crafted. Buddha is quoted as saying," It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It can not be taken from you." In these poems, the victory belongs to Ray Cicetti, but victory is not only his. It is a shared gift that the poet offers to anyone who joins him in seeing deeply. -Adele Kenny, Founding Director, Carriage House Poetry Series Ray Cicetti's poetry is a revelation that will smack you in the head. It takes me back to talking with him in New Jersey diners nearly forty years ago, except that the paisan Catholic schoolboy from North Newark now tells the truth with even more blunt power, and his Zen teaching has grown from an instruction into a habitation. These poems integrate Cicetti's twin personae with style and grace, frequently peppered with hilarity. Read him! -Daniel Born, author of The Birth of Liberal Guilt in the English Novel, and former vice president at the Great Books Foundation The poems in A Forest in His Pocket offer what I need to keep moving forward: the comfort of intimacy, the dexterity of grace, and that special light of unknowing that gives us all both pause and courage. Cicetti's narratives encompass what is both deeply rooted in the physical world and in our shimmering percepts of unknowing-and it's the brilliant flickering between those two that give these poems their humor, their gravitas, their delicious tensions and resonance. Cicetti's prose poem, "How the Universe Began," is the creation story I choose to believe above all others: "It did not begin with the Big Bang or random molecules connecting in primordial ooze, but with six Italian men playing bocce ball in a park on a cool summer evening." Ray Cicetti does, indeed, have "a forest in his pocket"-a forest of marvel and recognition. He's shown it to us so that we can share in its fresh, animated place of sustenance, community, and the possibility of recalling "our own original shining." -Renée Ashley, Author of Ruined Traveler, a book of prose poems, and Creative Writing teacher at Farleigh Dickinson University.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Life Is Out to Get You: Talks on Zen Meditation and Practice "Who am I? Why am I here? Why do I feel unhappy? What's this life all about?These are the fundamental questions we all have.-Roshi Ray Cicetti "As a young man Ray Cicetti was a social worker and singer in his own band. In mid-life, he turned to Zen Buddhism, became a teacher and chose to guide others seeking freedom and relief from suffering. In addition to teaching Zen he has added two books of poetry and now, this book of dharma talks, adding his own words to transmit the light to others."- Robert Jinsen Kennedy, Roshi. In this helpful addition to dharma literature, Roshi Cicetti brings his therapist's training and experience with real people in real situations into balance with the meditator's clarity and open heart/mind. His talks are full of gems, any one of which may be just what you need at that moment: - "Never waste a good crisis."- "Whatever your problem, when you hang out with it, when youare curious rather than condemning and are willing to look atand through it, and see what it's about, it becomes a pathway."- "Nobody cares how wise you are if you don't apply it in how you move in the world."Give this book a chance. You might just find that pathway to resolving your innermost questions.-Kipp Ryodo Hawley, the author of Three Steps to Mindfulness: Bringing Zen: Awareness Into Your Life.
