Irish haiku features the literate and thoughtful prose of one of Ireland's crirically acclaimed writers, the award winning poet and essayist, Chris Arthur. Arthur's writing blends the intensely personal with the abstractly philosophical in his explorations of the meaning of what happens, what has happened, and what may happen. His writing has been compared favorably with figures as diverse as Hubert Butler, Joseph Campbell, Seamus Heaney, C. S. Lewis and V. S. Naipul.
