A quartet of Zen-related books from Glasgow's Dockyard Press. I picked them up from #GoodPressGlasgow but the publisher also has its own website: https://dockyardpress.com

-- "Dockyard is a micropress run by two Zen Buddhist monks in Glasgow. Married to each other, we live in a housing scheme in Maryhill, in a hermitage we call Comraich airson Lusan Leònte/Wounded Plant Sanctuary.
If we sound weird, it's because we are.
Dockyard Press publishes poetry, fiction and nonfiction from the shadows, the edges and the spaces in between. We publish books, chapbooks, and ebooks that are small in size and huge in vision.” —

I'm looking forward to exploring each of these little items. Sometimes the best books are those we discover by chance, leaves blown by the breeze across the path. I'm grateful for these books, grateful I was on the path when the breeze chose to be there too.
