I met Ray McNiece during the April session on "subTEXT" monthly literary
gathering at the basement of Center National Library of Singapore, where
he was the last and anchoring reciting poet of the night.

This is an event organised by Shu Hoong, a respectable poet/writer
in Singapore.

These 2 works were extracted from a book - ISBN 0-933087-91-8
which is supported by Ohio Arts Council;
< American Zen, A Gathering of Poets >
Edited with Introduction by Ray McNiece & Larry Smith
Featuring Zen statements and works of 30 poets.

Published by Bottom Dog Press, Huron, Ohio

These postings were with verbal understanding from Ray McNiece for
The purpose of a review to be written by me.

bare birch mountainside　　　　《》a white timber
breath hovering over snow　　 《》white foggy breath in winter over white snow
words never spoken 　　　　　 《》the praise of whiteness was done !

...

Zen is about oneness with nature, and nothingness in expression !!!

Ray shines on his choice of imageries and the tale-telling interactions amongst them.
