Edited by Balamohan Shingade and Erena Shingade (GLORIA Books)
Past the Tower, Under the Tree offers a portrait of twelve artists and activists crafting a life in community. From street theatre to rap, from the tattoo hut to the meditation hall, each contributor offers a window into unexpected contexts and rich forms of practice. In these contributions that span love letters to tributes to appeals, we’re invited to reimagine what it means to learn, and to recover a promise in that process: the possibility of a fuller education, where craft and companionship go together.
Poems by Richard von Stumer
Slender Volumes locates the cypress trees of Buddhist folklore in Onehunga and the teachings of the Zen tradition along its foreshore. Elaborating on kōans collected by poet-philosopher Eihei Dōgen, each poem fastens centuries and distances together to find insight in everyday things: seagulls on a handrail, insects drinking from a pan of water, sump oil glistening in a white bucket.
Tote bag
Limited Edition of 100
Our limited edition tote bag features Two Buffaloes and the Moon, an illustration by Balamohan Shingade in response to Richard von Sturmer’s poem “Nanquan’s ‘Water Buffalo.’”
“When asked where he will go after his last breath, Nanquan replies that he will become a water buffalo at the foot of a mountain. I nod in agreement, my head heavy but well-balanced with two large horns...” (16).
