BOOKS of American Zen album: End of the Line

When Coyote moved to Utah in November 1991, he was publishing his most recent poetry book, Love, Always & Forever! Michelle McCarty had been the Shaolin Records intern who handled most of the printing in North Hollywood, 1990 and 1991. The first book published in Utah and printed, mostly by Michelle, was Autumn Flavours. Some of these poetry books were bound in dark blue leather hardcovers and sold at Zen Seminars of Shaolin Chi Mantis several years later.

Then Richard discovered a section of the form that is a reenactment of the murder of Hiram Abif. Richard's study into the history of this Kung Fu uncovered information about China before and after WWII.
