Overview

""Simply Poetry and Art"" relishes the union of poems with colorful paintings, also called haiga, as well as just poems, also called haiku. Haiku is a fascinating kind of poetry bringing more than conciseness to a moment's expression. Where a painting is said to speak a thousand words, haiku attempts a thousand words in three short lines. The impossibility is more a guide to help freedom find precision...to say just enough to make the space in between become a part of the whole expression. Haiku is meant to be ruminated...to read and re-read one poem at a time...so that each read can bring new insights. And when a painting includes a poem, words and brush strokes begin to blend, as if one might belong to the other. Come enjoy the wonders of haiku and haiga.
