Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 189300306X, Paperback)
Water Shed is a series of poems written in the tanka form as well as essays illuminating the author's long-term practice of the Japanese martial art, aikido. In the five-line Japanese form of the tanka, Gregorio explores specific aikido techniques, evoking both form and the psychological territory beyond form. The poems are spare, intense, aware. Light is shed on both the practice of aikido and the practice of writing.
