<p>Without Dragons Even the Emperor Would Be Lonely is a book of Ensos, Parables & Koans in the Zen tradition. Each piece is an enso (painting) and handwritten text created together in a single sitting. Poet Uche Nduka has said about Without Dragons, "I sense a call to dream deeply while awake. I feel a call to defy the fetters of logic/reason. Both darkening and radiant, there is radical fruition in the probing of depths in this confluence of words and colors . . . This is a beautiful book for our perilous time and beyond." A book that captures "The hurricane's eye of feeling, /" in the words of Pulitzer Prize winning poet Forrest Gander, the "whirl inside whirl, world / within world in John High's / lush color incantations / hang like moons over the road / of his handwritten words / and their moments of attention / come alive within us as though / we were all nested in each other."</p>
