The korean view on zen and poetry slightly differ from China or Japan, but the whole impact is powerful and feeling is the same.

A nice collection of Zen and Buddhist poems by various Korean poets. Definitely a book you don't read once and are done with. Need to re-read it several times to really get many of the poems.
