New online mindful poetry anthology :: WHAT WEB?!

[Gary Gach]

NEW WEBZINE FOR BUDDHISM + POETRY: WHAT WEB

An anthology I'd been editing for 5 years is done - WHAT BOOK
~ BUDDHA POEMS FROM BEAT TO HIPHOP. So now I'm weaving a web
continuing the project online with new content: WHAT WEB
<URL:http://word.to/whatweb.html>.
The book has 330 texts by 125 contributors; the website
has about 80 texts thus far (and growing). 3/4 of this
material is on my server; the rest, links from other sites.
New material is regularly added to the table of contents
<URL:http://word.to/ToC.html>.
Plus, there are commentaries on the anthology's topics
and themes: poetry + mindfulness; war; ecology; modernism;
silence; song; sangha; Buddha; guides along the path; and
cyberdharma. (This material is, likewise, not published in
the book.) <URL:http://word.to/themes.html>
Contributors' notes are hyperlinked: thus Claude Anshin
Thomas' bio update you from his Peace Pilgrimage.
"Beat to hiphop" is more a designation of a measure
of time (20th Century) rather than any particular style.
Contents include original work and translations;
performance art and conceptual art; lyrics, arias, and blues;
picture poems and calligraphy; prose poetry; sonnets; haiku;
meditations and sutras; journal entries; bucolics; jeremiads;
postmodernism; and other artifacts from the intersection of
meditation and art.
Its tapestry of voices includes:
* illustrious and lesser-known luminaries, plus brand-new discoveries;
* Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, Tibetan, Asian
American, African American, Jewish American, Chicano,
Polish, Estonian, Australian, etc.;
100American, African American, Jewish American, Chicano,
Polish, Estonian, Australian, etc.;
* veterans
* children of all ages
* practitioners and teachers as well as non-Buddhists
* and _____________________________ <?>
