Gregory O'Brien described Richard von Sturmer's last published work,Suchness: Zen Poetry and Prose, as "a book of almost hallucinogenic clarity". In his new prose collection,On the Eve of Never Departing,von Sturmer shines his clear, poetic light on a number of subjects, ranging from growing up in Auckland in the 1970's to Zen encounters in T'ang Dynasty China. Landscapes and paintings play a predominant role, and the reader will find him/herself exploring the south-western deserts of the United States as well as the canvases of Antonello da Messina and Casper David Friedrich. Gem-like details from the early Renaissance, echoes of German Romanticism, and the streets of Auckland city all form part of this unique work.
