Yvette Richardson Bücher

Part travelogue, part meditation on an author and his work, Zen and Now is a tribute to a beloved American book and the landscape that inspired it. Since it was first published in 1974, Robert Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance has become a modern classic, a beautifully constructed blend of travel narrative and philosophical inquiry that has moved generations of readers. One of those readers was journalistMarkRichardson, who after rediscovering the book at middle age, decided to retrace Pirsig’s journey. Fromthe back of his own motorcycle, Richardson investigates what happened to the reclusive Pirsig, his family, and the people described in the book in the years after its surprising success.

The collection of poems captures the emotional journey of life, reflecting on both its challenges and joys. Readers will experience a range of feelings, from laughter to tears, as the author shares her heartfelt insights. With a background in the medical field and a passion for writing since childhood, the author draws inspiration from her family life and personal experiences. Additionally, her blog offers further inspiration, making this work a blend of poetry and personal reflection.
