Grass Hut Work

<p>In the ancient tradition of poet-as-traveler-and-seer Barry Hill's <em>Grass Hut Work</em> is like Basho's <em>Narrow Road to the Interior</em> both a travelogue of Japan and a journey inward into what we'll call the Soul - for lack of a better word. He sees with fresh eyes the merger of history and presence and presents us vital insight at every turn. In the grass hut he says I strive to be nobody and thereby becomes an everyman an exemplar a master and unsui a beginner. Beautiful and quietly powerful this is work to return to again and again. -Sam Hamill</p>
