Haikus: From the Desert to the Tropics: Poetic Miracles

By Albrecht Classen

Albrecht Classen presents here yet another volume of his own poetry, haiku(s), along with a selection of his photos from the Sonoran Desert, Vermont, Germany, and Hawai'i. In fact, the photos served as the inspiration for the haikus, so this volume represents the intimate interaction of image and word to reveal some of the deep secrets in all our existence. The haiku is an intriguing form of poetry, determined by a strict word count (5 - 7 -5) and its focus on nature. Those three lines ask the reader to reflect deeply on the meaning of life as mirrored in the three statements, all closely aligned with each other. The haiku contains a message, and the photo enhances the meaning.
