About the Book (Excerpts & Info)

One won't find them sectioned-off into seasonal groupings nor partitioned into various elements-of-kind, such as metals or stone or wood or fire etc. However mysteriously presented, they are, nevertheless, small epiphanies that seem to come and go (apparently from nowhere.) Disturbingly soothing or soothingly disturbing, as if by magic, each "now-moment" will ostensibly materialize in a sudden burst of understanding... and just as mysteriously softly disappear... all in a sort of musical ebb-and-flow of "emotional" rhythms. To the point and simultaneously indirect; curiously multi-layered, like life, they invite ambiguity. They are haiku!

Read this book at a single sitting or (and) take a lifetime of picking roundabouts (indiscriminately-at-random) among the sundry bits-and-pieces leisurely resting at-large throughout (one page; one haiku) In each of these little "snippets-of-truth" there is a life-song hauntingly calling to be heard (again). Reconnect with the lost refrains of one's own 'circus-hypnotica' and 'trivia-mystique'. Witness anew the all-absorbing allure of something unexpectedly authentic. Breathe. Visit and revisit any of 371 surprisingly familiar and enigmatically commonplace experiences... always open to old discoveries and new explorations.

Each poem is a pebble plop't into the still pond of the reader's memory... embrace the event, as truly one's own, and just as suddenly one is swooped-up? refreshingly freed to follow, and more fully consider, wherever the ripples might carry -

- haiku notes (life-songs) -

Haiku slips beneath our immediate consciousness and plants a moment of fidelity and perpetual agreement? with an eternal integral truth about something quite ordinary, they offer and bequeath, through delicacy and nuance, an extraordinarily unanimous harmony with everything.

Haiku [and senryu are miniature "poems" that give expression in simple language to fleeting moments of heightened awareness. They suggest rather than narrate. They can appear fragile, but in essence are robust and resilient. They may seem elusive, but in this suggested hint-of-something-other remain doggedly attentive, quietly subtle and infinitely far-ranging.

It seems to me that haiku as a "poetic-composition" is better considered a visual art than a verbal one. Profound-in-essence; intuitive-in-truth, these are (or should be) benchmarks for every haiku: more literal than literary; sensuous and visceral as opposed to intellectual and academic?touch first, think later.

Haiku is a simple clear-eyed compositional meditative state, and a way of life which needs no distracting bejeweled finger pointing to the moon, in order to better see the moon (to borrow and twist a famous metaphor.) Inspiration is everywhere; always available; totally accessible! A little reach and there it is. If we learn how to look we may see? if how to see? we become visionary? if we are visionaries? well? so forth and so on -

that which is ... is enough ... focus wide ... be aware -

"There are many wonderful haijin out there deftly presenting the case for haiku. I'm probably better suited as an observer; rather more like a student of the art than a lawyer for its defense [or prosecution."

"Anonymity [the closest we can get to invisibility facilitates a wish/need to breathe-in each now-moment as fully liberated as possible... there is a serene freedom in solitude. It affords an extraordinary luxury to absorb life? wherein, sometimes, I might jot down a few ordinary notes."

"To quote Ryokan [a favorite poet:

"the nightingale's song

brings me out of a dream:

the morning glows"

"quiet observation enables us to write truthfully"?

to which I can only add: "yes!""
