The book Heaven and Earth is a vast compilation of poetry from Zen Master Chang Sik Kim. The poetry included in this book focuses on serious topics such as: the diverse qualities and faces of love, and environmental concerns. The main theme that runs throughout his work is the interconnectivity of all things. Many of the poems contain koans, which are questions that the reader contemplates to expand their mind, and to be free of preconceived ideas and attachments. These poems are written beautifully and will touch your heart as well as open your vision. He masterfully combines subjects that will make you see the ordinary objects around you in a different light. They are printed on a thin smooth paper that is a joy to touch. It makes the entire experience spiritual on many levels. The poems touch your mind and heart, and are written with a Zen writing style that fully conveys the earnestness and heart of the writer.
