Zen Telegrams: 79 Picture Poems

ZEN Telegrams by Paul Reps:~Initially the name itself seems to pose a problem. You might call these seventy-nine pieces "picture-poems," but they are communications that are more than pictures, more than poems.~The author calls them "poems before words," "pictures before art." They aim at the inner ear, the inner eye, the inner self. The editor calls them "Zen telegrams," a term pointing to both their immediacy and their datelessness...and who can resist opening a telegram?~Any of these seventy-nine works may be the one your inner self has been expecting all your life. Or again, perhaps you may simply want to belly-feel the delightfully illogical logic of life, and you will find here a trigger for this most satisfying of all laughter.~Any reader, whether deep thinker or philosophical novice, is sure to find that Reps is sending here the most awakening and pleasuring telegram ever received, plus a whole book of "pictures before art." Or are they "picture-poems"? In the end, the name is no problem at all, as you read, look, and LOSE YOUR UNFLOWER MIND.~The unique books of Paul Reps have attracted countless readers since they were first published in the 1950's.
