Oracle of the Turtle: Poems on the I Ching
Robert Dyer

This third and final edition of Oracle of the Turtle, which is based on the I Ching, fulfills Dyer's vision to which he not only has the poems but accompanies each poem with an illustration to make a marvelous graphic presentation.

"Oracle of the Turtle is in fact a stunning book that succeeds remarkably well at all levels. The poetic commentaries are accurate and enlightening, and at the same time each poem maintains its integrity as a world in itself. In addition, the whole series conveys a distinct sense of completeness that can only be compared to the I Ching itself.

"Like the oracles of the I Ching, these poems resonate with mystery and meaning and are vital meditations on existence able to evoke responses from the deepest realms of the unconscious. Those who seek additional insight into the I Ching and those who appreciate fine books of poetry are advised to consult this beautiful book, which Confucius himself would have found worthwhile."
