In the ancient tradition of poet-as-traveler-and-seer, Barry Hill’s Grass Hut Work
is, like Basho’s Narrow Road to the Interior
, both a travelogue of Japan and a journey inward, into what we’ll call the Soul—for lack of a better word. He sees with fresh eyes the merger of history and presence, and presents us vital insight at every turn. “In the grass hut,” he says, “I strive to be nobody,” and thereby becomes an everyman, an exemplar, a master and unsui, a beginner. Beautiful and quietly powerful, this is work to return to again and again. —Sam Hamill
