“Words have no meaning” is the theme of the very first ever Montreal Zen Poetry Festival, an ambitious and enigmatic affair that will take off the weekend of March 16th to 18th, 2007.Poets, translators, story-tellers, scholars, musicians, and Zen monks will come together to explore how Zen embraces a paradoxical relationship with language – a relationship which has strongly influenced both Asian and North American poetry movements.
