Summary
"Published originally in 1981 as Japan and India Journals: 1960-1964, Strange Big Moon is Joanne Kyger's journal of her years in Japan and India as a young poet in her late twenties during four tumultuous years. They are years in which Kyger is developing a poetic sensibility and a Buddhist practice, which would become cornerstones of her life. She came back to San Francisco and Bolinas and over the next four decades became one of the finest poets of her generation."--BOOK JACKET.
