Product Description
by Steven Nightingale (Author)
The haiku is an intense, concentrated form, ideal for portraying the atrocious darkness of our times, and also the exaltations of life possible when love and understanding come into unity. In this book of poems, which moves the haiku
form towards incantation, we are shown the ferocity of danger before us; and also a way forward--a jailbreak, a healing, the recognition of a place of safety. It's where we know a concord of souls, erotic communion, raw blessing, and rebellion.
