    ?Reading poems from another language, culture, and century, I often feel like a foreigner excluded from the original?s greatest subtleties. Not so in Hyesim?s miraculous time-traveling poems, which might have been written yesterday or tomorrow, and anywhere. There?s not a single opaque word in the book. The poems are Buddhist, yes, and Zen (S?n) in particular, but they?re written for anyone interested in human consciousness: what it is, how it perceives the world, how it can be transformed, and what pure perceptual clarity and joy result from the realization of its ultimate transparency. Through eight hundred years Hyesim?s voice delivers the gift of his wisdom, modesty, humor, and profound understanding of the human mind. These are important poems.?? Chase Twichell"Hyesim's poems: transformative as walking high granite mountains by moonlight, with fragrant herbs underfoot and a thermos of clear tea in the backpack. Their bedrock is thusness, their images' beauty is pellucid and new, their view without limit. The shelf of essential Zen poets for American readers grows larger with this immediately indispensable collection."?Jane Hirshfield
