Tea Shack Interior: New & Selected Poetry

by Andrew Schelling

TEA SHACK INTERIOR brings together writings from six of Schelling's earlier books together with previously unpublished work. Well known for his translations from Sanskrit and as an interpreter of Eastern culture to the West, Andrew Schelling, in the words of poet Patrick Pritchett, "belongs to a small group of poets who are actively engaged with the rhythms and pulses of the natural world." "Here is a sudden opening into a little known world of poetics and exquisite spiritual ferocity"-Gary Snyder. Schelling is the author of many other books available at SPD, including THE HANDFUL OF SEEDS, THE ROAD TO OCOSINGO, and THE CANE GROVES OF NARMADA RIVER.
