Across these poems, an asymptote becomes a meditation on intimacy, imaginary numbers open a door that changes everything, and Newton's third law reveals itself as karma in action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRooted in years of Zen practice and contemplative medicine, and shaped by the honest work of recovery, this collection moves between the meditation cushion and the Montana big sky, between the Bodhi tree and the Book of Job. Zilkoski writes about impermanence and aging, gratitude and grief, self-compassion, and the courage to stop arguing with reality with a clarity that resonates whether you come to it through Buddhism, Christianity, mindfulness, or simply a love of the elegant proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor readers of Mary Oliver, David Whyte, and Jane Hirshfield who also happen to love a good equation here is a book that finds the infinite in the ordinary, and the ordinary in the infinite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Zilkoski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798256148195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Zilkoski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/09\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Mark Zilkoski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49084329263359,"sku":"9798256148195","price":12.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/calculus-arithmetic-and-other-poems-mark-zilkoski-9798256148195","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
