How to measure a moment: a beat of one's heart, an intake of breath...a moment may be brief, but it is never small. Haiku remind us of the significance of every moment. In this collection, the beauty and magnitude of such moments are presented in this poetic form. As this collection also shows, the "form" of haiku contains many possibilities, from three lines to a single line, horizontal on the page or vertical...Just as no two moments in life are alike, each haiku offers its own surprise, its own revelation. More than an anthology of poetry, Heart Breaths is an anthology of possibilities. |
