Google scanned and is posting about 26 pages (an alphabet!) from Flowers of a Moment (including some of the illustrations), at
KoUn6
Books.Google.Com, as one of their Limited Previews:
[This book contains 185 zen poems by Korea's unofficial poet laureate, Ko Un, ("Korea's greatest living zen poet" says Lawrence Ferlinghetti) plus cherishable inkbrush drawings by him as a bonus (such as the one above); me, I was honored by the Northern California Book Award for Translation 2007 for my work on it. The Swedish translation was voted Best Book of the Year by one of the leading newspapers there.]
Check it out. Pass it along.
