TAO TE CHING/Lao Tsu: A new edition of the Feng/English translation of this classic, which I first published in 1972 (it has sold over a million copies), was released by Vintage in November 2011. The translation has been updated and there are over 100 new photographs by Jane English (duotones this time), a foreword by me, and a short introduction by Jacob Needleman. Vintage also released the text-only edition of the updated translation with an introduction and notes by Jacob Needleman, and, for the first time, an electronic version of the text-only edition. You can buy the illustrated edition and the text-only edition from me (but not the electronic edition). I came out of editorial retirement to work with Jane English on this wonderful new edition and she has added my name as translator.

Blog Header: Mirabai Starr—translator of St Teresa of Avila and St John of the Cross, writer, teacher, and speaker—launched a wonderful blog in July 2009 , and chose to use my “Plum Blossom” as the header. See here.

Jacket Illustration: The Free Press used my orange caterpillar and red butterfly on the jacket of Susan Piver’s The Wisdom of a Broken Heart and the butterfly as an ornament inside the book. The book was published in December 2009 and you can see the jacket and read about the book here and here.
