"Several years ago while hiking in the wooded hills behind his house, David Budbill came upon a cabin on the eastern side of Judevine Mountain. On subsequent visits Budbill found a hermit there: a poet in the ancient Chinese style. As with his progenitor, the T'ang dynasty poet Cold Mountain (Han Shan), this poet named himself for the place where he lives - Judevine Mountain."--BOOK JACKET.

"In these poems Judevine Mountain is a man of contradictions: of solitude and loneliness, contentment and restlessness, generosity and envy. For Judevine Mountain - this most settled of poets - nothing is ever settled, solved, or understood."--BOOK JACKET.
