I asked the Monk if he had an diagram of the exercises or a book - his English he had loaned out but he didn't remember who had it, I've looked around on the internet and in bookstores but have come across anything yet - using the poles really help stretch my back - does anyone know of such a book?

You could take the pole and simply play with it, move it around you in ways that stretch you and eventually you will have a basic outline of how to stretch your body with the pole. Granted the book will heavily help you with this exercise, yet adding your own taste to it makes it more a "personal art" as well.
