Chris McAlister is currently one of the most prominent ambassadors of Shiatsu and the Asian way of life in the West. In this comprehensive and easy to read book, he takes the reader on a journey right into the heart of Oriental medicine and how it overlaps with modern Western science and philosophy. His profound knowledge and experience are conveyed by stories peppered with personal experiences, case studies and anecdotes. Sometimes poetic and sometimes straight from the heart, he explains how energy manifests itself, whether it is the Five Spirits, the I Ching or Traditional Chinese Medicine.<br/>In The Poetry of Touch the author offers the reader a look into the perspective of a practitioner who has spent most of his life exploring the ins and outs of East Asian Medicine. Given his grounding in shiatsu, he naturally comes from a place of highly valuing the art of touch in the practice of traditional medicine.<br/>He shares anecdotes and wisdom from a long and circuitous journey in East Asian Medicine. He references the classics, especially the Yijing the Book of Changes the primary source for Chinese philosophy and worldview. Unraveling the symbols and images that are foreign to westerners, but imbedded in the collective unconscious, he lays out the implications of this foundational text in the practice of medicine. Chris unpacks the healing arts of Oriental Medicine with respect and a genuine feeling for what is essential, and in so doing refreshes it and paves the way for the next generation of practitioners.<br/><br/>Chris honors the diversity and full depth of East Asian medicine. Not just as a monolith of ancient knowledge, but as a living breathing truth that has to be rediscovered in the life and practice of each practitioner. This is a brilliant example of the path of mastery, which we are all on every time we consciously choose to cultivate this living tradition.

<i>"Revelatory and sublime...Her work remains conceptually open enough for viewers to draw their own conclusions, insert their own meaning and feel transported to other glorious worlds." </i>-The New York Times<br/><br/>One of the most inventive artists of the twentieth century, Hilma af Klint was a pioneer of abstraction. Her first forays into her imaginative non-objective painting long preceded the work of Kandinsky and Mondrian and radically mined the fields of science and religion. Deeply interested in spiritualism and philosophy, af Klint developed an iconography that explores esoteric concepts in metaphysics, as demonstrated in <i>Tree of Knowledge</i>. This rarely seen series of watercolors renders orbital, enigmatic forms, visual allegories of unification and separateness, darkness and light, beginning and end, life and death, and spirit and matter.<br/><br/>Published on the occasion of the exhibition <i>Hilma af Klint: Tree of Knowledge</i> at David Zwirner New York in 2021 and David Zwirner London in 2022, this catalogue features a text by the art historian Susan Aberth examining af Klint's spiritual and anthroposophical influences. With a conversation between the curator Helen Molesworth and the US Poet Laureate Joy Harjo discussing connections between Tree of Knowledge and native theories about plant knowledge, the publication broadens the scope of philosophical interpretations of af Klint's timeless work. Also included is a newly commissioned essay by the celebrated af Klint scholar Julia Voss, a contribution by the artist Suzan Frecon, and a text by art historian Max Rosenberg that further develops the conversation around why af Klint's work was not recognized in its time.
