Book Description
The verses in Wu Tzu Poems were composed during a period spanning from the Author’s initial spiritual quest through the time of Her attainment. “Wu Tzu,” which may be translated as “No Death” or “Life Eternal,” is The Supreme Master Ching Hai’s pen name from that significant phase in Her life. Originally written in Aulacese, all of the poems in this collection have been translated into English by The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association (SMCHIA) Book Department, with guidance from the Author. To provide readers with a glimpse of The Supreme Master Ching Hai’s genuine appreciation for the art of poetry, we have included an excerpt from the translated poem “The Saint” with editing comments by the Poet. Wu Tzu Poems presents an intimate chronicle of the Poet’s journey in search of the Truth. This undertaking was motivated by Her deep yearning to seek enlightenment for all beings, not just Herself, even at a time when Her life was regarded as highly successful by worldly standards. Each poem marks a step on the passage toward spiritual awakening. But these verses reveal more than just a series of stages; they also reflect the devotion of a great Soul, and as such, touch the true Self or Soul in each of us. We hope that readers who have felt a longing for Home will find a profound echo of their own sentiments within these pages.

Book Description
As the pandemic shutdown looms over us, we are reminded of those things we took for granted: for instance, hibiscus flowers, the sea, the moon, or an elderly couple at home who are still in love. Hibiscus: poems that heal and empower seeks to convey the resonating touch of the flower itself. According to Ayurveda, the flower has many medicinal uses that include but are not limited to lowering blood pressure and preventing stroke. The anthology derives its healing power from reaching across continents. It was conceived in India by acclaimed poet, editor, and translator Kiriti Sengupta. Hibiscus houses 104 poets—luminaries like Keki N. Daruwalla, Mamang Dai, Sudeep Sen, Bina Sarkar Ellias, Sanjeev Sethi, Sanjukta Dasgupta, Wang Ping, Tim Kahl, John Grey, Michael R. Burch, Claudine Nash, Gerard Sarnat, among others. Chief editor Kiriti Sengupta writes of the concept behind the book: “As a clinician, I can tell you, healing is not all about back to normalcy, or in other words, restoration of the state of being. Healing imparts strength. It renders authority.” A distinct relationship exists between healing and empowerment that this anthology intends to convey. In the introduction written conjointly between the editors: Kiriti Sengupta, Anu Majumdar, and Dustin Pickering, the roles the collection declares for itself are made apparent. Majumdar writes, “Poetry is the first language of humanity,” and “how we heal all this,” the different levels of crisis, “is the justice that will empower the world.” Sengupta writes, “In times of crisis, one may approach the issue(s) in more than one way: we can demand remedial measures, or we can opt for a therapeutic course that will alleviate our suffering. We have every right to exercise both the means, however. Hibiscus: poems that heal and empower follows the second way of addressing hardship.” Pickering himself writes of the socio-economical devastation wreaked by the virus and implies that people return to their humanity. In taking a bold stance of caution, Pickering also shows us an alternative meaning to social distancing: minding one’s own business is paramount, and we should not infringe on others. However, the anthology is rife with questions about our humanity, how we treat one another, the forgotten beauty of life, and the wonders we are surrounded by and should be concerned with preserving. It is recorded that the lockdown has helped restore the environment. Hibiscus: poems that heal and empower in its ability to navigate steep terrain—the cultural and political forces we wish to command—while transcending our pettiness to show that empowerment is possible without pretense. The anthology elicits a promising journey during this time when poetry is having a bright moment.
