The Devil is a Child - Collin Barber - Published
The Devil is a Child - Collin Barber
In
a voice visceral and searing, Collin Barber has taken the solitudes
of haiku and the short songs of tanka and turned them on their heads,
in conscious supplication to whatever redemptions the art of poetry
might offer.
These
are poems of unquiet and torment. They are written in the flaring
language of self-reproach and personal hell, bent moonlight and
splattered blood.
As
such, The
Devil is a Child
calls upon the reader as a lost soul calls upon a friend: for succor,
understanding,
and forgiveness. Barber reminds us that such things are often
lost for want of asking, and that silence gives consent.
With
this book Barber has achieved a kind of modern miniature by a dweller
in Dante's Inferno,
without the liturgical trappings

Noah's Eggs by Johannes S. H. Bjerg published
Like the two hemispheres of our brains that collaborate to shape and
define our reality, so it is with Johannes S.H. Bjerg's "Noahs eggs", a
book of parallel haiku- two haiku positioned on a page together that,
when read tends to create a third sense or dimension in relation to the
two haiku. Bjerg pushes the envelope juxtaposing his well crafted and
profoundly meaningful haiku images.
