Product Description
by Allen Frost (Editor), Clyde Sanborn (Author)
While editing the tribute book to poet Robert Sund (A Flutter of Birds Passing Through Heaven, 2016) I heard about "the other poet" in La Conner, Washington, Clyde Sanborn. Knowing nothing about him except that he lived and died like Li Po, I embarked on a journey to learn whatever I could. This tribute book is a rare treasury filled with memories, interviews, photos, as well as Clyde's handwritten poems and paintings. In the tradition of Li Po, Clyde Sanborn was our very own Zen poet, artist and river drifter. Not so long ago, he was a well known fixture in La Conner, but his story has never been told until now. This book provides an adventurous, inspired look at the struggle of an illuminated artist. It will be of interest to everyone else out there in the same boat.
