The Heart of Haiku by Jane Hirshfield
4.0
Year after year,
the monkey's face,
wears a monkey's face
this autumn,
why do I grow old?
a bird entering clouds
There is an elegance and sophistication to haiku that I find interesting. It has a zen-like quality and a potency that makes you pause when it's intention sinks in.
This book was a short and sweet little book on the life and poetry of free spirit and wanderer Matsuo BashÅ and the art form known as haiku.
4/5
