Hidden Behind The Leaves

HIDDEN BEHIND THE LEAVES is a narrative prose poem that recounts the travels of Master Ko. The work is divided into four sections corresponding with the seasons of the year. A few notes at the back of the book annotate the poems. Each segment has twenty stanzas with one extra added to the first section to total 81. This number of stanzas (or poems) mirrors the format of the Tao Te Ching. The poems can be read simply as the travels of a simple monk and the lessons learned; or they may serve as commentary on the equivalent stanza in the Tao. Or ... As with any written work, the reader pays his money and takes his choice.
