On a Train at Night
The relationship between words and world: This is what poetry is all about. This is the exact locus in which poetry has something to teach us. This is the exact locus in which On a Train at Night has something active to teach us.
Here we are
Through what appears at times to be a private, or personal, conversation, I seek to reflect a public, or impersonal, one. [. . . ] Here We Are is an attempt to tell it like is, to provide all the news that’s not fit to print, so that we might close the gap that separates us readers and human beings from our words, from ourselves and from one another.
Dream Logic
I found that the challenge of precisely recording my dreams over the past fifteen years prompted the need to find a poetic language adequate to the actual encounters in the dream. (This is very different from making a smooth narrative or inter -pretation that ends up obscuring the dream). The challenge is to feel the image and then let the words arise from a deep enough place to respond. I found that certain nights or early mornings as I slipped out of dream-mind to record a dream, I felt an impulse to write a poem instead. And that is how Yonder (my first book in this series of works of mine) and now Dream Logic was born. I was still engaged with images moving in me, but now they were entering the space of the page, or more precisely, the space of the iPhone “notes.” Although awake, I was also still writing in the perfume of the dream, and carried along by that feeling, the language arose often full of imagery and eliding any secular logic.

Why?
Why? consists of an extended series of questions about the nature of things, and particularly about the singular thing that is a rose. It begins with and revolves around Angelius Silesius’s famous line, ‘‘The rose is without why, it blooms simply because it blooms.’’ Why? makes a reverse proposition, questioning the thing so that it will bloom.
Poems That Look Just Like Poems
A startlingly direct, clear look at daily experience, including the graceful changes of direction in consciousness. At once a spiritual journal and a pared down writing that arises, in part, from years of Zen meditation, Lazer’s book continues an American tradition of spiritual accounting: the sacred, the holy, and the mysterious emerging from daily experience. These poems have an inviting simplicity to them. They are poems that reward re-reading. Hank Lazer is the author of thirty books of poetry—most recently Slowly Becoming Awake (N32)—and three volumes of essays. His poems have been translated into French, Chinese, Italian, and Spanish.
Moltings
Récit de la dernière matinée d'une Résidence d'écriture au Monastère de S., les sept feuillets de Mues croisent trois voix, celles du présent du 17 août en romain, celle du carnet tenu durant le séjour feuilleté à l’italique et, en gras, celle mue rétrospectivement par l’écriture.
Awareness
This book should be read as a viaticum, a guide, planting along the road of life what Henri Michaux called “corner posts.” The author recalls “viaticum books” (from the Bible to Gertrude Stein, Jean Giono), and his vows—“gathering of provisions”—call for the publication of such books.

The Book of Moments
Browne's Book of Moments strongly recalls her previous Lost Parkour (Ps)alms (2014), while taking a step toward bringing us closer to what we are. We are creatures of prayers. Prayers define us—Prayers stand at the root of poetry.
The Hidden Lamp
The Hidden Lamp is a collection of one hundred koans and stories of Buddhist women from the time of the Buddha to the present day. This revolutionary book brings together many teaching stories that were hidden for centuries, unknown until this volume. These stories are extraordinary expressions of freedom and fearlessness, relevant for men and women of any time or place. In these pages we meet nuns, laywomen practicing with their families, famous teachers honored by emperors, and old women selling tea on the side of the road. Each story is accompanied by a reflection by a contemporary woman teacher--personal responses that help bring the old stories alive for readers today--and concluded by a final meditation for the reader, a question from the editors meant to spark further rumination and inquiry. These are the voices of the women ancestors of every contemporary Buddhist.
