Peter Levitt - book launch

Book Launch: Peter Levitt – "Blossom Awakening"
Pause, breathe, and savor the quiet beauty of Saigyō, one of Japan's most beloved and
quintessential poets, in this celebration of nature and Buddhist insight.
Born in the twelfth century during a time of great political upheaval and warfare, Saigyō made the unusual decision to resign from his post as a samurai guard to the emperor's family and pursue a life of Buddhist renunciation, wilderness wandering, and poetry.
Award-winning poet and translator Peter Levitt, known for his warmth, insight and engaging
reading style will present his latest work for all to enjoy.
