Serendipity comprises a number of haiku sequences and prose poetry pieces. Taken as a whole, the book is an exploration of and meditation upon language and memory, while at the same time a set of narratives and poetic sequences about traveling the world and living in it. As stated in the Foreword, the reader might find interesting patterns in the arrangement of the pieces; however, one should feel free to open the book at random, moving serendipitously from poem to poem according to the spirit of the moment. |
