Expressions Impressions: A Thematic Haiku Chapbook (Poetry collections, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This is a collection of 50 haiku, organised under loose and broad thematic descriptions. The headings are suggestive and meant to be a bit playful. Each haiku stands alone, but the thematic ordering I hope adds some additional colour. The themes are:

THE LINGERING OF PAST INTO PRESENT

THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION AND MISPERCEPTION

THE MIND MAKES IT ALL UP

THE BODY DOESN'T LIE

CITY 'VERMIN'

A BREAK IN THE ACTION

EVERYDAY OBJECTS

HAIKU FOR END TIMES

These English-language haiku are all written in the "standard" 5-7-5 form put forward by the Haiku Society of America in 1968: each haiku here has three lines of 5 syllables, 7 syllables, and 5 syllables respectively. As is often remarked this tends to be considerably longer than haiku in Japanese which generally have lines of fewer syllables. But it is a common standard and the one that I have found convenient to use.

Autorenporträt

I am creative fiction and nonfiction writer of plays, poetry and prose. My themes are eclectic but the major ones include: the meaning and practice of daily spirituality; the human experience and how it is affected by an increasingly technocratic and technologized world; war and peace in the digital age; quirky narratives of quirky trips; and unusual bits of history.

I have training in a technical field and have had careers in government and academia. I continue to practice as an independent scholar but have devoted the greater part of my time and energy to being an artist.
