Genius in Two Worlds

Neil Claremon's  first book of poetry. "East by Southwest," was published by Simon & Schuster inspired by Native American and Mexican Indian cultures and shamanism. Claremon wrote his acclaimed novel, "Borderland," in 1975--one of the first contemporary books to consider alternative healing techniques. In addition to his novels and poetry, Claremon has written screen scripts and synopses of novels for film and television. In 1991, he published "Zen in Motion--Lessons from a Master Archer on Breath, Posture, and Intuition," a product of his tutelage with renowned Zen Master Kobun Chino Otogawa who helped fashion Zen Buddhism in the U.S.
