Summary

Poems and artworks on the themes of dealing with insecurity and confinement - the homelessness and imprisonment we all share. Sharing their stories and their responses to this shared human predicament are the book's three contributors:(1) Prize-winning photographer and meditator, Laszlo Mihaly, uses words and images and an intimate knowledge of homelessness to illustrate his path through brokenness to creativity.(2) The poems of Zen Master Julian Daizan Skinner, inspired by his own teacher's joke that Zen life combines prison and homelessness, depict the pains and joys arising through his three decades in the Zen world.(3) Zen artist Kazuaki Okazaki who, after eighteen years incarceration on death row was executed in July 2018, contributes a sequence of images depicting a spiritual journey from lostness and wandering, through the intense confinement of Zen training, and then onwards into a new homelessness a vastly expanded realm of liberation and service.
