Questions/Places/Voices/Seasons continues and expands the innovative meditational poetry Norman Fischer has explored in earlier books, such as Slowly but Dearly, Success, and I Was Blown Back. The two long serial poems that anchor Questions/Places/Voices/Seasons, "Charlotte's Way" and "Seasons," will feel quite familiar to Fischer's many readers.

Norman Fischer is a Zen priest and abbot who lives in Muir Beach, California. Active in San Francisco Bay Area poetry circles since the 1970s, he has been publishing prose and poetry ever since. He is executor of the Philip Whalen literary estate.
