Selected Poems of Chia Tao (Jia Dao)
Chia Tao (779-843), an erstwhile Zen monk who became a poet during China’s Tang Dynasty, recorded the lives of the sages, masters, immortals, and hermits who helped establish the great spiritual tradition of Zen Buddhism in China.
Presented in both the original Chinese and Mike O’Connor’s beautifully crafted English translation, When I Find You Again, It Will Be in Mountains brings to life this preeminent poet and his glorious religious tradition, offering the fullest translation of Chia Tao’s poems to date.

What the publisher says:
As her hand slips from his grip, Patrick’s life is shattered, forever changed…
Trapped high on a stormbound mountain face in the icy depths of winter, a stricken young man is forced to fight for his life. Many years later, haunted by grief and guilt, Patrick is freed from his self-imposed vigil when at last the mountain releases his heartrending secret.
The Sound of Gravity is a harrowing, dramatic and powerful tale of how a haunting split-second memory can change the course of a lifetime – a novel of love, loss and redemption.
