"My American Zen Life" describes the intimate spiritual journey of Gerry Shishin Wick from an ordinary alienated kid to one of America's premier Zen masters. Wick encountered Zen in Berkeley in the 1960s, a few years later became a student of Sochu Suzuki Roshi in London and then spent 23 years as a disciple of Taizan Maezumi Roshi at the Zen Center of Los Angeles where he became an independent Zen teacher. Wick's Zen memoir is an important history of the coming of Zen to America. His life intertwined with the lives of many seminal figures in American Zen including Bernie Glassman, Joko Beck, John Daido Loori, Robert Aitken, Shunryu Suzuki, Eido Shimano, Genpo Merzel, Chozen Bays and others. Wick's Zen teachings are interspersed within his historical narrative, making "My American Zen Life" a treasure chest of wisdom for daily living.

<p>Imaging Iowa City shares the results of the artist's long habit of seeing and appreciating her home in images and words. She captures downtown life, the Iowa River, the seasons, the odd scene-while open to meditations on form, content, and essence.     "This collection of photographs and poems captures the spirit of Iowa City. Claudine Harris sees the beauty in the small things forgotten, and has focused our attention on the sidelights of urban life. The combination of the visual and the written brings our minds to the value of observing all things around us. It allows us to pause in our busy lives and appreciate the beauty and the value in artifacts, whether mundane or essential."</p>
