[美]阿迪亚香提（Adyashanti） 后禅宗大师。现居美国加利福尼亚北部。1996年，经历了一系列灵性觉醒的蜕变，在跟随禅修老师学习了14年之久后，阿迪亚香提开始了他的教学生涯，他常常被人们拿来与中国早期的禅宗大师以及教授不二论的印度禅宗大师阿德韦德吠陀相提并论。 译者对作者的介绍： 阿迪亚香提是颗“鸡蛋”——外面是白的，里面是黄的。他作为西方人的身份未能隐藏他内在的东方品质。他被人称为后禅宗的导师，他的教导简单、直接而清晰，直指人心，他深得禅宗真昧，但是，如这个时代的很多启蒙者一样，他的灵魂选择出生在美国的加州——这个灵性觉醒新时代运动的诞生地，或许这个选择也是颇具意味的，他因此能将西方现代心理学的语汇融入自己的体验及教导当中。 阿迪亚香提19岁时开始了对“开悟”以及“真理”的探索，二十几岁的时候有了第一次开悟的体验，对自己的真实本性有了一个瞥...(展开全部)

欧美诗坛一颗耀眼的新星。1977年出生于乌克兰敖德萨市一个犹太家庭，4岁失去听力，12-13岁开始发表散文和诗。苏联解体之后排犹浪潮掀起，16岁时他和家人以难民身份移居美国。1994年父亲去世，他开始用英语写作，“用新的语言来悼念父亲”。目前，他是加州圣迭戈州立大学副教授、创作系主任，讲授世界文学、诗歌创作及翻译，并主编享誉国际诗坛的《诗国际》年刊。 2004年，卡明斯基出版第一本诗集《舞在敖德萨》，引起诗坛轰动，奖项如潮而至，迄今已有西班牙语、法语、俄语、罗马尼亚语、波斯语、荷兰语等多种译本，卡明斯基也因此成为众多国际诗歌节争相邀请的热门人物。他的最新诗集《聋子共和国》与散文集《难度诗人》即将出版。作为俄罗斯少年流亡者，他的诗歌具有“白银”诗人的纯正抒情，但“流亡”主题在他的后现代诗学中演化为“美好的礼物”和“疯狂而美丽的自由”。

Described as ‘a rich, reverberative dance with memories of a haunted city’ (LA Times), the poems of the prize-winning debut Dancing in Odessa by Ilya Kaminsky, author of Deaf Republic, draw on archetype, myth and Russian literary figures. Tightly realised domestic settings are invigorated with a contemporary relevance, humour and torment, and a distinctive, transcendent music.
