This book of free verse poetry are the reflections of a life journey, yet to be completed. Grounded in the experiences of everyday life and at the barriers of justice and peace demonstrations and movements, they take the reader places they have not been.The background of dual practice of both Christianity and Buddhism are here as the author continues his work on being a warrior poet. As a colleague, has written about the book,Bob Ko shin has written a book informed by a lifetime of awareness that all warrior poets are trying to find a vantage point from which to stand that allows for clear witness. This larger vision allows for the strategic use of words to give voice to those who have no voice. The poems question the trajectory of contemporary history that allows for human suffering and shows the poet's struggle to see, "who is responsible." Ko shin's poems are frequently stripped down and naked of the clutter of devices, as he faces the core of the issues of turbulence and peace. He comes back to the necessity for discernment, of the warrior poet's necessity for strategic speaking out from a grounding place. No matter how irrational the pain of the human path may seem, Ko shin finds comfort: Someone once said, if you search for love you will never find it I think if you be who you are You will find what you are looking for Many times over.So Ko shin arrives at a knowing wherein to be authentic in the face of chaos and irrationality allows the one who questions to have a fulfilled life. Because, no matter what the story, the history, the sense of questions thrown into a void with no answers, there is always a place of arrival and that place is love.by Cherie Hanson, performance artist and poet, CanadaContemporary, human, community based, fun, this book will send you places and to thoughts that might not be yours, but could be if you want.
