Sky Above, Great Wind: The Life and Poetry of Zen Master Ryokan by Kazuaki Tanahashi

hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

I was looking for a book with some poetry in it and found this on Audible. I love Japanese literature so gave it a try. It is a wonderful book. The first part is about the poet, Zen Master Ryokan (1758-1831). Then it's mostly poems, then some anecdotes. 

I understand there are some sketches, but unfortunately there's no PDF file with this. I wish there was. One of these days I would like to get a paper copy of this as well. 

This is narrated by Brian Nishii, one of my favorite narrators, the second book in a row I listened to that he narrated.
