PAPERBACK, cover price $3.95, very good lightly used copy, cover and foredges lightly scuffed, worn at bottom of spine. RICHARDS, MARY CAROLINE. Centering in pottery, poetry, and the person. Middletown, Conn.: Wesleyan University Press, 1976, 9th printing, 159pp., . M. C. Richards - Comments on CENTERING and its author: "This book, in its form and in its content, seems almost without precedent. Its style flows directly from an intensity, an honesty, and a frankness which are rare. It is a poem, a sutra, a tract, a confession, a revelation, a guide to art and life. . In my opinion this is not merely a good book, it is a great book. It cannot fail to make its mark." - Daniel Rhodes, Craft Horizons // "In a marvelous Zen-like melange of jokes, proverbs, anecdotes, poems (her own), folk-tales, myths, and personal experiences, Miss Richards reaches directly and disturbingly toward inert portions of ourselves, which we suddenly find to be vulnerable, mysterious, and alive. As a teacher of great sophistication . . . she brings to the chief problem of education an original and authoritative voice." - Dorothy Van Ghent, Carleton Miscellany // "What shall we do with our emotions? Suffer them, I hear her saying. The subject she teaches isn t listed in the catalogues. Sooner or later we know we re studying with her. How is she and where? I am okay and growing, and trying to concentrate on really carrying this through. It ain t easy, or comfortable, but here we are, right? Not only the Devil, but the Lord, too, is on earth and doing His work beautifully." -- John Cage // "I hesitate to call Centering a religious book, for the word calls up overtones which are absent here, of dogma, prescription, exhortation, sectarianism. Nevertheless, the book is rich with religion, specifically awe toward nature, from the smallest natural movement to the cosmic processes, an awe developed through identification with Buddhism and Taoism, a scrupulous respect for the whatness of what is. In this regard, Miss Richards reminds me of two writers who are not commonly thought of together - Martin Buber and Thomas Merton - but they share with each other and with Miss Richards this beautiful respect for the integrity of a person, an object, a world, a concern for wholeness." - Michele Murray, The National Catholic Reporter // "One of the major literary and philosophical works of our time. . . . Miss Richards presents her thesis without didactic tedium, but with sensitive imagination, wisdom blended with poetry the language most suitable and healing for our charged times." - Daisy Aldan. 9780819560117 ISBN 0819560111.
