Recorded on November 6, 2024 at Boundless Mind Temple in Brooklyn, NY.

A reading to launch two new poetry books by BZC friends and acclaimed poets: Granny Cloud by Farnoosh Fathi and Through a Window by Zoketsu Norman Fischer. BZC Administrative Director Ryan Lee Wong reads from his novel, Which Side Are You On?, and the three discuss Zen, poetics, and Eihei Dogen’s “grandmotherly” or “parental” mind.
