From time to time, I hit a wall with my work on Callimachus: all my ideas taste as stale as the flat soda Pa likes to drink, and nothing I read seems any fresher. These are good times to pull some poetry off my shelf and take a break, but y'know what's even better for getting past the wall? Contemplating Zen koans. For your delectation, I have linked a few good sites below; maybe they'll prove helpful--or at least pleasantly distracting!--for the other Blogstroms.
101 Zen Koans - fairly approachable koans
Transcending Duality - let the weird begin
The Gateless Gate - traditional collection, with wild and wonderful commentary
Have fun!
