It also suggests that experiencing life as expressed in the poems is true now, and will remain true until circumstances change in the relatively near future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is prefaced with a note by Richard Gilbert, PhD titled \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eParallels as a poetics.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eComments from others who enjoyed the book: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is a joy and a source of constant wonder and afterthought to witness how Stephen Bailey has made the parallel (haiku) work for his own writing with excellence. If anything this is a deeply spiritual book grounded in the writer's journey towards the silence in which God speaks to the soul and his sensing of The Other in all things and all aspects of his life. For the Time Being is a book to be read again and again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e-Johannes S. H. Bjerg - writer, artist, editor \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePossibly the most significant development in haiku-influenced poetry in our generation, these are both intensely personal and metaphysical poems - The very heart of becoming - in which the poem exceeds its own form, attaining something much larger. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e-Eric Selland - poet, translator \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Stephen Bailey's parallel poems we enter a liminal space, where time unfolds the mysteries of our origins in the echoes of now. For Bailey, we are forever becoming within the shift and pull of nature and human nature. These are poems of sunlight and shadow, and all the glimmerings in between. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e-Patricia Nelson - poet, artist \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver the years, Stephen Bailey has carved a niche for himself, finding a distinctive voice while working in the form of the parallel haiku. With \u003ci\u003eFor The Time Being\u003c\/i\u003e, Bailey has uttered a major artistic statement in the genre of the short poem. This impressive collection is the culmination of one man's journey and a lifetime of developing his craft. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFor The Time Being\u003c\/i\u003e reaches into the primordial memories of the collective unconscious to explore the act of being. With an autumnal, contemplative tone, it strips away masks and touches a sense of the timeless and eternal. Serenely beautiful and deeply mysterious, Bailey has crafted a gnostic reverie in the spaces between lines. In the interstices between images, these brief contrapuntal poems create a sense of infinite space out of just a few words. Masterfully minimalist, this collection of verse is spiritual, moving, and memorable. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e-Clayton Beach - poet, editor \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne of my favourite places is St Anselm's chapel in Chester cathedral. When I worked nearby, I would visit often. As I sat watching the prayer candles pulsing in the draft, I felt somehow connected to the silence in ways that were both intimate yet impersonal. When I read Stephen Bailey's book, \u003ci\u003eFor The Time Being\u003c\/i\u003e, the haiku in it felt reminiscent of the silent space in Saint Anselm's chapel. I realized that a good book connects us with aspects of oneself but a great book connects us with the silence from which that self arises - and in my view this is a great book. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e-Tim Roberts - poet","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51301838225681,"sku":"NIN9780473671181","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0473671182.jpg?v=1751261238"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-stephen-bailey.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
