<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A collection of 108 haiku poems to heighten awareness and deepen our appreciation for the ordinary in everyday life</b> <p/> Haiku, the Japanese form of poetry written in just three lines, can be miraculous in its power to articulate the profundity of the simplest moment--and for that reason haiku can be a useful tool for bringing us to a heightened awareness of our lives. <p/> Here, the poet Patricia Donegan shares her experience of the haiku form as a way of insight that anyone can use to slow down and uncover the beauty of ordinary moments. She presents 108 haiku poems--on themes such as honesty, transience, and compassion--and offers commentary on each as an impetus to meditation and as a key to unlocking the wonder in what we find right before us.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Haiku Mind</i> contains the best--the most insightful--commentary on haiku since the great works of R.
