Meeting for long, midnight conversations in Paris, two poets and prophetic peacemakers—one an exiled Buddhist monk and Zen master, the other a Jesuit priest—explore together the farthest reaches of truth. East and West flow together in this remarkable book, transcriptions of their recorded conversations that range widely over memory, death, and religion; prison and exile; war and peace; Jesus and Buddha; and communities of faith and resistance.

Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese monk and Zen master, is one of the most beloved Buddhist teachers in the West. He is the author of thirty books, including Living Buddha, Living Christ, Being Peace, and The Miracle of Mindfulness.

Daniel Berrigan is a Jesuit priest and poet who has twice served extended prison terms for his peacemaking activities. Among his most recent books are The Bride: Images of the Church, Uncommon Prayer: A Book of Psalms, and Ezekiel: Vision in the Dust.
