Jim Harrison's popular novels represent only part of his literary output--he has also been widely acclaimed for the "renegade genius" of his powerful, expressive verse, collected in several books such as Dead Man's Float(Copper Canyon Press, 2016).

His ninth book of poetry, After Ikkyuis Harrison's first collection that is directly inspired by his Zen practice. The poems included here are thought-provoking and full of wisdom, intelligence, and passion--spirited in Harrison's unique writing style.
