by Stanford M. Forrester
Back in print for the third time! Expanded second edition! Plus an intro from Pamela Miller Ness.
"What a splendidly designed book, and the haiku and haiku-inspired
poems are all terrific. These little hand-crafted efforts are the best
& most authentic American Poetry. Everywhere I turn I hear more
about Santoka who serves I guess as the tutelary guardian for [this]
book." --Andrew Schelling, Poet & Editor of The Wisdom Anthology of North American Buddhist Poetry
"The mind delights in these gifts of observation with a pure heart." --Jane Reichold, Poet, Publisher of AHA Books, & Co-editor of Lynx
"The 20 poems in this booklet are gems, each one to be savored, their facets explored. A short booklet? Yes. But one that deserves to be read, studied, and examined, both for form and for message content. Stanford M. Forrester, is a thinking person's poet." --Robert D. Wilson, Managing Editor of Simply Haiku
n.b. These quotes refer to the first edition of buddha's fingerprint. The second edition is expanded.

an ant carries away
my concentration
new year's day -
not liking my fortune
i buy another
only one flower
is needed to answer
your question

only the sound
of the temple bell stays dry
