Book Synopsis

Poetry. Winner of the 2003 Green Rose Prize. "As subversive in itssimplicity as any truly American Buddhism, or as any truly feminineanything, the poetry in Buddha Box is both radical and beautiful; bothunflinching and consoling. These poems contain joy and promote love butnever at the expense of complexity, precision, inventiveness, or therecognition of loss"--Gail Wronsky



Trade Review
"As subversive in its simplicity as any truly American Buddhism, or as any truly feminine anything, the poetry in 'Buddha Box' is both radical and beautiful; both unflinching and consoling... Gretchen Mattox is absolutely original in her strategy of bringing Zen mind to the down-and-out human landscape of West Los Angeles. Her resulting discoveries are quite often simply brilliant. Buddha Box is filled with light." -- Gail Wronsky.
