No Customer Reviews
Encountering the Poetry of Daisaku Ikeda features three American literature scholars analyzing and celebrating the poetry of Japanese Buddhist thinker, leader, and writer Daisaku Ikeda. Ronald A. Bosco of the State University of New York at Albany contributes an introduction to the volume and an essay exploring "Lyricism in the Poems of daisaku Ikeda." Kenneth M. Price of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln contributes an essay considering "Daisaku Ikeda's Poetic Response to Walt Whitman and His Quest for Peace." Finally, Sarah Ann Wider of Colgate University explores "Daisaku Ikeda's Poetry of Encouragement." Inspired by the American Transcendentalists and the legacy Buddhist humanism, and intended as a counterweight to militarism and violence of all kinds, Mr. Ikeda's poems serve to enrich our ongoing quest for personal and social happiness and well being.
