Haiku, Language, Thought:
Creative Freedom through the Space of Mind

by Richard Gilbert

Haiku, Language, Thought is a new, expanded edition of Gilbert’s 2018 book on the poetic imagination, Poetry as Consciousness. The new edition contains commentary on almost 100 new haiku.
 
Why Haiku?

Although the focus of this book concerns poetic imagination as a whole, haiku are presented as a means to illustrate how the space of thought may be activated, or “performed” by both reader and writer—how certain phenomena of consciousness can be articulated within the barest minimum of text. Haiku open us to this thoughtspace quite mysteriously: Haiku often present novel dimensions of psychology, social commentary, and spirituality, enriching the mysterious relationship between poetry and consciousness. Haiku are codes to what we are becoming. —
