Paper Boats: Tradition or legend has it that Li Bai folded some of his poems into paper boats and sent them floating down a river to the wider world, much as peach blossoms on entering a stream drift far from their source.

These ephemeral, transient paper boats are being set free. Like the Chinese and Japanese poets, they will wander. They will let the water course take them randomly through the landscape to explore, meditate and contemplate the moment.

This collection is the culmination of daily practice in capturing small evanescent moments over the past five years of the poet’s meditations. In the lines of verse you will find shades of  Paul Nelson, Allen Ginsberg, Kenneth Rexroth, Tu Fu, Li Bai, Robert Hass, Basho, Buson, Issa, Fiona Robyn, Allen Watts, Patrick Lane, Lao Tsu,  and Deng Ming-Dao.
