Punk Monk
Punk Monk: New Monasticism and the Ancient Art of Breathing
By Andy Freeman and Pete Greig
Ventura, California: Regal Books, 2007
Review by Carl McColman
First, a confession: I fell in love with this book the moment I heard of its title. Bands like the Clash and the Jam provided the soundtrack to my undergraduate years, so I guess I have a soft spot for the punk world (even though I was never much of a punk myself). And while a title like this could easily signify a book that is more cutesy style than substance, I’m happy to report that this book has value well beyond its two-syllable rhyme.
