Three Rock Sonnets is a series of 108 poems written by Soto Zen Buddhist priest Myozan Kodo. Ranging from intimate lyrics drawing on family life to meditations on the ineffable mystery of things, these poems belong to that ancient Zen tradition of contemplating the unutterable in verse. Including elegies for the poets Seamus Heaney and Allen Ginsberg, Three Rock Sonnets is a collection with electric concerns: from the discovery of the Higgs Boson at CERN, to the ancient riddles or koans of the Zen Buddhist tradition. In a way, these 108 poems are a devotional act. They are prostrations to the mystery that lies at the heart of reality itself, and to the great 'Triple Gem' of Buddhism: the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha. Three Rock Sonnets is a collection that keeps faith with reality as we find it, despite the trials and challenges that face us, individually and collectively, at this moment in our shared destiny.
