\nModern haikuists from the UK, the US, Croatia, India, Nigeria and a dozen other countries converse via haiku with Japanese masters, like Basho, Issa and Buson, sharing moments of insight expressed in poetry of a single breath.<\/p>\n
\n in a cloudy well
\n this one moon . . .
\n let us all adore it<\/p>\n
\n the morning moon mingles
\n with the petals<\/p>\n

\nThe Awakened One offers us a poetic dialog on the nature of awareness across culture and time.<\/p>\n
\n many solemn nights
\n blond moon, we stand and marvel . . .
\n sleeping our noons away<\/p>\n
\n moonlight in the emptiness
\n of his cupped hand<\/p>\n

\nPoetry has helped me navigate through the past couple of years. Some poems bring me to silence, others give voice to my grief and anger. Some awaken pure delight, others remind me to flow with life. The Awakened One<\/em><\/a> is a perfect collection for this time. Within these haiku we hear the voices of poets, men and women from all over the world contemplating a moment, a feeling, or the vast expanse, all within just a few lines. Reading them, there is a shared experience, a shared breath, a shared spark of awareness. Reading these haiku grounds us and reweaves us into the world community.<\/p>\n
