In What If Zen Gardens …, Henry Beissel, often considered the master of the long poem, turns to the time-honoured tradition of the haiku to help bring to light what he calls “the world's hidden affairs.” Included in the collection are a series of black-and-white illustrations by Arlette Francière, themselves polished gems reflecting and enhancing the poems.
Haiku are prisms
that refract the mystery
of being alive
and reveal the world
in spectra of images
for meditation.
