Walking Four Ways in the Wind Paperback / softback
by John Allman
Part of the Princeton Legacy Library series
Paperback / softback
Description
Describing this collection of his poems, John Allman writes, "It is a book about the inner and outer worlds, a collection of multiple voices and relationships.
In one sense it is about suffering, family, and survival.
However, it is also about a world beyond such things, where identity burns by itself, where the self-changes but never dies.
The book says that only change happens, but that survival without will and compassion is meaningless.
The title, taken from a line in one of the book's ritual lyrics, suggests the four dimensions of human consciousness and effort, and the book strives to name or embody as many landscapes as possible--though it is the 'vertical' one given to religion and death that remains an abiding puzzle." Originally published in 1979. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
