Kindling: Poems From Two Poets

<p>Living at the Monastery, Working in the Kitchen contains poems of funny, fleeting enlightenment ignited more by close, current, continuous observation of the ordinary than by assuming a permanent pinnacle of wisdom. Written in the voice of Shih-te, cook and janitor at Kuo-ch'sing monastery during the T'sang Dynasty and chum to the famed Han-shan (Cold Mountain), these lines spit fire and savor salt.</p>

Lahaina Noon is the moment when tropical sun shines straight down. No shadows darken that astonishing moment of illumination, and Hawai'i is where it happens. Lahaina Noon, Eric Paul Shaffer's fifth book, contains poems of Maui that reveal a clarity and sense of place as clear as lines of Billy Collins, profound as Gary Snyder, and direct as Jim Harrison.

Fiction. BURN & LEARN is a wild tale of five friends attending college, drinking coffee at the Frontier Restaurant, and learning the wisdom of the ages, the era, and the street in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This episodic novel begins where Laurence Sterne and Richard Brautigan left off, introducing a truly amusing and alluring wilderness of words through which readers can blaze their own glorious trails. The novel reveals all in thirteen modes ranging from mythology, science-fiction fables, American koans, Coyote tales, coyote chapters, BookMovie chapters, Missing Lists (and other relevant context), realistic narrative, encyclopedic entries enumerating the details of the Century of Technological Disaster, commentary concerning the Ideal Edition of the novel, a love story, a lost-love story, and parables of four monkish brothers residing in a cabin on the Continental Divide.

<p>Years ago assigned by a keen reviewer to the “Clear Pool School” of poetry, Shaffer’s work again presents sharply detailed and unexpected scenes of how the blue world looks as a bouncing inflatable globe on a day at the beach, beneath a single streetlight on a dark upcountry road, after the surprise of “NO TRESPASSING” signs between slippahs and the sand, beyond our perverse thirst for apocalypse even in paradise. Yet a love for the land, people, friends, and significant others on the islands shines within these pages as well, in dry grass or rain, under plumeria and kiawe, and leads to lives that grow and flourish in the same landscape.</p>
