BRICKS INTO GOLD

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

by LUCIEN STRYK
The idea of a piece of brick instantly turning into gold is used in a poem by Sengai as an image for the enlightenment of the Zen monk Kyogen. Lucien Stryk examines how Zen Buddhism, and in particular its concept of awakening, has influenced the work of a range of recent American poets, including Robert Bly , Gary Snyder , John Tagliabue , James Wright , and himself.
