Six Directions : Haiku and Field Notes

Perhaps it is imagination, perhaps intuition or empathy which best describes the mysterious ability to connect beyond our words, to decipher meaning beneath -- or within. Those who seek to tune in with the world find the sixth sense to be "relationship" -- the interdependence of ecology. The compressed poetic form of haiku can bring us to the essentials of living inside these relationships. We speak of a moment of revelation as the content of such poems. What is revealed? Such a question shapes our words, takes us inevitably to the next step, points us in the right direction.The poems in this book are navigational investigations -- they keep pointing at the moon, or the moon in the fingernail.Kacian, Jim is the author of 'Six Directions : Haiku and Field Notes', published 1997 under ISBN 9780963190949 and ISBN 0963190946.
