journey ongoing a meander of haiku Inspired primarily by his domestic and international travels, Journey Ongoing is a major volume of haiku that includes photos and translations, as well as an illuminative preface. His poems extensively and comprehensively explore personal experiences and a vast range of styles, structures, contents, and themes. * "Predictable only in its unpredictability, this eclectic collection of innovative poems flows like waves at sea and clouds in the sky, their shape, size, and expression determined by currents and other natural forces, including intuition. Consequently, many depart from haiku tradition, but while we journey out of our comfort zone we travel within ourselves and closer to enlightenment." CORINE TIMMER is a visual artist, writer, publisher, and award-winning haiku poet. She lives in rural Portugal between the sea and the Algarvean hills, where she cares for many animals. "Journey Ongoing offers a generous selection, wherein every element of every poem—sound, rhythm, appearance on the page—is dedicated to the pure expression of each experience. And what gems they are, one delight after another. When you stop to catch your breath, it's already been taken away. When you turn the last page of this masterful haiku travelogue, you know you’ve really been somewhere. Some wheres!" CHUCK BRICKLEY is the author of the multi-award-winning haiku collection, earthshine, from Snapshot Press.
