Crow with no mouth : Ikkyu, 15th century Zen master

by Ikkyu, Stephen Berg, Lucien Styrk

This poetry collection explores the life of Japanese Zen master Ikkyu, focusing on his unconventional spiritual path involving themes of sex and alcohol. The verses chronicle his late-life relationship with a blind woman and challenge traditional monastic expectations.
