Beschreibung

"The Life of Man" by Leonid Andreyev is a five-act symbolist drama. Surveyed by Someone in Grey, a man passes through life (in the grey world where all things are of color grey) from birth to death as a blind man, unable to see what comes to him next. First, he is destitute, then rises to affluence, and finally hits the bottom again. Cursing the anonymous witness to his tribulations, he imagines himself as a hapless warrior who loses everything in his strife against the unfathomable, evil forces. "I am armless now," he exclaims, before the candle (a symbol of life) dies and darkness falls.

    Annie's not really a fan of herself. How did she get a life like this? While her perfect sister poses in hipster hats, she has to take care of her sick mother. And she keeps mistaking hot men for her Dad.
    There must be more than this. The celebrities that fill her social media feeds are only separated by a screen, but that's as close as she'll ever get to someone like Kanye West. People think he's a God.
    But what if everyone thought she was someone else? Someone different. Someone better.
    Sam Steiner's Kanye the First is a dazzlingly funny and original drama about identity, guilt, contemporary culture and the second coming of Kanye West.
    It was premiered in September 2017 by HighTide Festival.

    “Excellent . . . A fine introduction to Chinese and Japanese Zen poetry for all readers” from the editors of Zen Poetry: Let the Spring Breeze Enter (Choice).   Capturing in verse the ageless spirit of Zen, these 150 poems reflect the insight of famed masters from the ninth century to the nineteenth. The translators, in collaboration with Zen Master Taigan Takayama, have furnished illuminating commentary on the poems and arranged them as to facilitate comparison between the Chinese and Japanese Zen traditions. The poems themselves, rendered in clear and powerful English, offer a unique approach to Zen Buddhism, “compared with which,” as Lucien Stryk writes, “the many disquisitions on its meaning are as dust to living earth. We see in these poems, as in all important religious art, East or West, revelations of spiritual truths touched by a kind of divinity.”   “One of the most intimate and dynamic books yet published on Zen.” —Sanford Goldstein, Arizona Quarterly
