Haiku for the Journey - Paperback

by Cynthia T. Hahn (Author), Monique Loubet (Illustrator)

Haiku for the Journey uses traditional 5/7/5 three-line syllabic form to inspire cyclical, poetic reflection. Cynthia T. Hahn's poems express reverence for nature's layering of light and dark, of trembling and stillness. The section, "Automnal Quickening," notes inner and outer observations that pull us toward winter's hibernation, while "Lightening Up" gathers us to celebrate spring's renewed palette. "Threading Summer Song" encourages sensory meditation on fullness, while "Ocean Time" closes the volume with a suspension of the seasons in perpetual resonance. The strong colors that characterize the tableaux by artist Monique Loubet evoke a deep response to this poetic journey, and the poetry's seasonal references invite additional and renewed readings of the text.
