Himalaya Poems
In 1997, Korean poet Ko Un and a few companions spent forty days of rough traveling through Tibet, despite the fact that years before the poet had learned that an undiagnosed attack of tuberculosis in his youth had seriously damaged his lungs. Enduring terrible pain and near death, the poet survived to write, three years later, the powerful Himalaya Poems, which both describe and evaluate his journey.

Reading Films: My International CinemaDouglas Messerli Encompassing 200 international movies, Reading Films is a highly personal but profound discussion of some of the most important cinematic achievements from the earliest of film history--including numerous silent films--to current movies in theaters at the time of this book's publication. Douglas Messerli not only "sees" the movies on which he writes, but "reads" them as works of poetry and fiction.
