Discovering Fire: Haiku & Essays

by David Grayson

Finally gathered together here are David Grayson’s thoughtful and engaging essays on the hallmarks of importance of word choice, the form of the poem, use of seasonality, as well as distinguishing qualities which the visual arts (think Rauschenberg, Calder, and New Yorker covers), religious thought (think Taoism, mystery and grace), and micropoems, share with haiku. Interspersed with the essays is a collection of Grayson’s own finely wrought, carefully honed haiku. Discovering Fire leads us down a path of discovery brilliantly illuminated by the keen insights of an astute student of haiku.
