Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

["Goldstein, Louis" <>]

Welcome back, Kay!

I'm on page 73 (Morris Graves) of your absorbing book.  It's fascinating to read John Cage's story through the lens of Zen, rather than having his encounters described from the outside.

Continued: Everything I write in "Where the Heart Beats: John Cage, Zen
Buddhism, and the Inner Life of Artists" comes straight out of the words of
Cage himself, beginning with the quote in the first pages of Silence, in which
he says that without engagement with Zen he doubts whether he would have done
what he has done. I have just joined the silence listserv again (I was enrolled
some time ago) and I look forward to entering your conversation. --Kay Larson
