The Sutra of Sacred Nonsense A Zen-Dadaist Poetry Collection by Ismael S Rodriguez Jr What happens when the sacred collides with the ridiculous? When enlightenment comes wrapped in rubber chickens, silent koans, and tea poured into invisible cups?

Produktbeschreibung
The Sutra of Sacred Nonsense A Zen-Dadaist Poetry Collection by Ismael S Rodriguez Jr What happens when the sacred collides with the ridiculous? When enlightenment comes wrapped in rubber chickens, silent koans, and tea poured into invisible cups? Welcome to The Sutra of Sacred Nonsense, a one-of-a-kind poetry collection that dances on the razor-thin edge between meaning and absurdity. With over 100 surreal, whimsical, and mind-bending poems, this collection explores the collision of Eastern philosophy and Dadaist anarchy-a spiritual journey guided by laughing monks, meditating frogs, floating teacups, and scrolls that spontaneously combust into butterflies. This is a book where:The Buddha cracks a cosmic joke no one understands. A poem ends before it begins, and another refuses to exist. The wind writes haiku, mirrors chant koans, and nothingness sips espresso in a bathrobe. Enlightenment might be found in a vending machine-or not. Each section of the collection acts as a strange stepping stone on the path to nowhere: The Empty Cup, The Dharma of Ducks, The Absurd Lotus, The Great Nothing Orchestra, The Tao of Anarchy, The Cosmic Fool, and more. Together, they form a non-linear, paradox-rich journey that honors Zen wisdom while gleefully dismantling the seriousness of seeking. Blending minimalist haiku, surreal narratives, philosophical riddles, and playful nonsense, The Sutra of Sacred Nonsense invites the reader not to understand-but to experience. To let go. To laugh. To breathe in the impossible. Whether you are a seasoned mystic, a wandering poet, or a curious fool drawn to cosmic mischief, this book offers a joyful dismantling of everything you thought a spiritual text should be. Read it backward. Read it upside down. Or don't read it at all. The truth is in the blank spaces. And the joke's on all of us.
Autorenporträt
Ismael S. Rodriguez Jr. is a poet and writer whose work dwells in the space where stillness meets pressure. Shaped by lived experience, movement, and sustained attention to power and survival, his writing blends lyrical witness, surrealism, and contemplative resistance. A U.S. Navy veteran who served during Operation Desert Storm aboard a ship deployed in the Mediterranean, he carries an enduring fascination with authority, machinery, discipline, and moral ambiguity-often approached sideways, with humor and grace. His work has appeared in Halfway Down the Stairs, The Beatnik Cowboy, Chiron Review, Nebo, Home Planet, Lost Lake Folk Opera, Pensive: A Global Journal of Spirituality & the Arts, Muse Literary Journal, and elsewhere. He is the author of multiple poetry and fiction collections and is currently working toward traditional publication while continuing to explore what survives after spectacle fades. Rodriguez lives in Florida, where he writes quietly, listens closely, and believes that attention itself can be a radical act.
