Peter Dale Scott with Norman Fischer & Sylvia Boorstein – Ecstatic Pessimist

Ecstatic Pessimist, by Peter Dale Scott, is a timely book about the Central and Eastern European experience of the mid-20th century, as told through the poetry and experiences of Czeslaw Milosz, Nobel Laureate for literature, who wrote on the horrors of war and the human experience. Written by a colleague and friend of the poet, it is part literary criticism and part memoir.

In conversation with Norman Fischer, a poet, author and Zen Buddhist priest, and with Sylvia Boorstein PhD, author who has been teaching Dharma and mindfulness meditation since 1985.
