New Shin Buddhist Poetry

Jerry Bolick

Jerry has been a nembutsu follower for some twenty-five years or so, closely connected with the San Francisco Buddhist Temple most of that time. The late Rev. Ken Yamaguchi took him on as his unofficial assistant many years ago and opened the door to many wonderful experiences that the average lay follower would not have. He has, for most of that time, and continues now, to be an active lay speaker, mostly in the small Shinsu temple in Marin County, across the Golden Gate Bridge - from time to time, he speaks at other temples.'

The song, the hum ...

A Poem for Thanksgiving 2002.

Walking with You.

A Prayer, After 9/11.

Marin Hills Remembrance.

The owl called this morning ...

After the third day ...

I woke this morning ...

At the time of the great fall ...

Dreaming fog ...

Fog shrouds the hills ...

Walking the hills ...

Green-black hills, covered with fog ...
