About The Book
Breathtaking original haiku and senryu from the author of the bestselling anthology Poetry of Impermanence, Mindfulness, and Joy.
Moments of insight are to be found throughout the pages of this beautiful collection by cherished and award-winning poet John Brehm. These haiku are true to the spirit of the form, offering vivid images that speak to nature—and our human nature—in remarkably fresh ways. With many written as the author faces an incurable cancer, these poems are a window into the fragility and impermanence of life and the profound beauty of even the most ordinary of moments.
This volume is a companion to keep you company in seasons of change and a brilliant reminder of the freshness always at your fingertips. Best savored mindfully, each haiku is an invitation to be present to the vastness of everyday experiences, shared with Brehm’s signature honesty, humor, and grace.
