Deep Breath: A Book of Haiku Evolutions

4.9/5 (26105 ratings)

Description:"The nature of a poem to which we give birth is unpredictable. Once in a while, it emerges perfectly formed and functional and can go out into the world with no doctoring. More often, it has the steady glow of life, but needs corrective surgery, either for a blocked heart or a broken limb. Most likely, however, it sparks briefly then flutters out and no effort will resuscitate its flicker. You'll find examples of all three births inside—and more."- George Swede, cofounder of Haiku Canada and former editor of Frogpond.From the Introduction:It all began on Facebook. One early morning, perhaps 2:00 a.m., when I couldn't sleep, I decided to visit some poet friends, just stopping by for a short browse and then moving on. When I came to Carole MacRury's post, I stopped short. As she often does, Carole had posted an exquisite photograph, capturing light and texture. It was an old blue bowl, partially blocked by the structure of a wooden building, maybe an old shed.Over the years, Carole's photographs have never disappointed; her command of a lens is extraordinary in all sense of the word. The time and care she takes with framing, and angles, and light, is well known in the haiku community. And this was no exception! However, it was the text of her post that really pulled me into the screen. It was a personal conversation about finding a particular spot on Gabriola Island, and being inspired to compose a haiku. What followed was her thinking about that image. The associations she was making. The comparisons and contrasts. When I came to the end it was as though I had been inside her head. It was an amazing feeling, and I thought to myself … how many other haiku poets have stories like this? Stories about creative process, the editing process.I called on a few friends; Deep Breath was born.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
