Thanks, Tim, sounds worth looking into.


Hello,

For those who would like to read more about Dada and Zen, there is a book
that came out in 1977 by Ko Wan called "Buddhist Elements in Dada: A
Comparison of Tristan Tzara, Takahashi Shinkichi, and Their Fellow Poets",
that explores the Dada/Buddhist connection in depth. Also, it is a good
critical introduction to the work of Takahashi, whose poetry is
extraordinary. Since someone else in this thread recommended reading
Takahashi, I will add that there are a few excellent translations of his
work by Lucien Stryk, especially "Triumph of the Sparrow."
