For budgetary reasons, we have been focusing on archiving Inquiring Mind’s original articles, interviews and poetry. For the most part, that has meant leaving out anything adapted or excerpted from books or other publications.

For this volume’s archive, we’ve omitted excerpts from:

The Mind of Clover: Essays in Zen Buddhist Ethics by Robert Aitken (North Point Press, 1984)

A Path with Heart: A Guide Through the Perils and Promises of Spiritual Live by Jack Kornfield (Bantam Books, 1993)

Insight Meditation: The Practice of Freedom by Joseph Goldstein (Shambhala Publications,1993)

Likewise, this issue’s poetry: 

“Recipe for Prison Pruno,” by Jarvis Jay Masters, is widely available online and in his book Finding Freedom (Padma Publishing,1997; reissued by Shambhala Publications, 2020)

Several poems were originally published in The Rag and Bone Shop of the Heart: Poems for Men, edited by Robert Bly, James Hillman and Michael Mead (Harper Collins, 1992):

“Song of a Man Who Has Come Through” by D.H. Lawrence (excerpt),

“Middle of the Way” by Galway Kinnell (excerpt),

“To Be a Slave of Intensity” by Kabir,

“Death” by Kuba, “Old Song” (Traditional, West Africa) and

“Ego Tripping” by Nikki Giovanni

If you wish that these poems and essays were available here, let us know (and, perhaps, consider making a donation to help us continue growing and expanding the archive).
