    For Now: Poems by Taiju Geri Wilimek, Paintings by Marley Kaul
    • 2020

      In this book a visual artist and a writer offer their second collaborative reflection on mortality. For Now offers images of egg tempera paintings made by master painter Marley Kaul and poems written by Zen practitioner Taiju Geri Wilimek, following the publication of their 2018 collaboration, We Sit. Kaul has continued his exploration of mortality with a brilliant and complex visual vocabulary that distinguishes him as an artist and a thinker. Taiju Geri Wilimek offers poems that share intimate moments of realization, enabled by the study and practice of mindfulness meditation and the teachings of Zen. Kaul and Wilimek, friends for decades, offer their work in painting/poem dyads that are discursive, rather than illustrative. The artists share an interest in aesthetic and contemplative practices that give rise to vivid and intimate encounters with life in its depth, beauty and brevity

      In this book a visual artist and a writer offer the fruits of contemplative practice. Marley Kaul, a painter for over 50 years, offers 20 images of egg tempera paintings made during a year long period of meditative reflection after receiving a serious medical diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis in 2016. Taiju Geri Wilimek, living in the aftermath of a 1998 cancer diagnosis offers poetry that could only have been written after a long period of healing, enabled by the study and practice of mindfulness meditation and the teachings of zen. Kaul and Wilimek, friends for decades, share a pull toward the investigation of life and death through meditation and art.
