small events

by W.F. Owen

w. f. owen, a former Professor of Communication Studies in the California State University system, was also among the first to discover the resources of English-language haibun. This, his first full-length collection, is a groundbreaking effort in this hybrid genre, moribund in its native Japan for the past 2 centuries but reborn in the West.

Good little collection of haibun (combination of prose with haiku). The author, a fellow member of the Central Valley Haiku Club, http://www.valleyhaiku.org leads us into his life and heart with his tight prose and minimalist haiku. Check out his blog at http://haikunotebook.blogspot.com/
