Notes
Cold Mountain Transcendental Poetry is a revised and expanded 6th edition collection of 96 poems b the T'ang Zen Poet, Han-Shan. The introduction includes a unique autobiography of the poet, written exclusively with information drawn from the poems. No one knows who wrote the Cold Mountain poetry. The poems were found written on the rocks in a remote, mountainous region in Southern China. They tell the story of a gentle recluse and of his long life on Cold Mountain as a 'guest' of nature, living in a cave and foraging for food. Though simple and childlike, the poems are majestic and have the power to lift the reader to share a moment in the poet's heaven.

Wandering poet is a Buddhist monk poet and author. He has a graduate degree from California State University. He lives in the mountains of Northern California.
