Horses Where the Answers Should Have Been with Poet Chase Twichell
SEE EVENT DETAILS
A Pacific Zen Luminaries Series Online Event Horses Where the Answers Should Have Been with Poet Chase Twichell - Monday, April 7th, 2025 - Live Online at 6 pm Pacific Time
Many of Chase Twichell's poems are heavily influenced by her years as a Zen Buddhist student of John Daido Loori at Zen Mountain Monastery. From an interview with Tricycle, she says, "Zazen and poetry are both studies of the mind. I find the internal pressure exerted by emotion and by a koan to be similar in surprising and unpredictable ways. Zen is a wonderful sieve through which to pour a poem. It strains out whatever's inessential."
She is the author of eight books of poetry, most recently Things as It Is (Copper Canyon, 2018). After teaching for many years (Hampshire College, the University of Alabama, Princeton University), she left academia to found Ausable Press, a not-for-profit publisher of contemporary poetry, which was acquired by Copper Canyon in 2009.
