Summary: Toinette Lippe's fingers are all over the publishing world. She worked for Knopf for 32 years, where she published the Feng/English translation of the classic Tao Te Ching. Then, she founded the Bell Tower imprint, where she published Thomas Berry, Ram Dass, Rabbi Rami Shapiro, and Stephen Levine's A Year to Live. Most recently, she edited Mirabai Starr's gorgeous God of Love. In her home in New York City, Toinette paints and teaches East Asian brush painting-an art form that appears to be so perfect. But perhaps in the attempt to find perfection, one must make peace with imperfection!
