Presents more than 100 poems by one of the most irreverent and iconoclastic Zen masters of Japan. Ikkyu (1394-1481) wanted his Zen to be direct, raw, and authentic and his topics range from criticism of the pervasive hypocrisy of the Buddhist establishment to the celebration of the unfettered Zen life and the joys of sexual intimacy. His famous poem 'Skeletons' is included in its entirety.
