Haiku for the Road by Stephen Holton

Haiku for the Road by Stephen Holton

Stephen Holton is an Episcopal priest who lives and works in the Hudson Valley region of New York. One day during morning prayer, he found himself arranging words like puzzle pieces in the traditional syllabic structure of Japanese haiku. Creating these simple three-line poems turned into a daily ritual-Holton's way of capturing and exploring momentary emotions, observations of nature and the world, and insights into faith and life. Friends and followers relish Holton's haiku as they appear on social media. Now some of the best have been gathered for this book.

Holton, Stephen: - Stephen Holton is an Episcopal priest who lives and works in the Hudson Valley region of New York. The son of a U.S. diplomat, Holton grew up in six different countries with his parents, his brother, and his sister. In 1989, Holton was ordained to the Episcopal priesthood, and also was married to his wife Charlotte. In the years since then, with their sons, they've lived and served in several different parishes-one a long-term position as rector of Saint Paul's on the Hill Episcopal Church in Ossining, New York, and a number of interim and associate positions, also in the Hudson Valley. In 2013, Holton earned a Master's degree in sacred theology from the General Theological Seminary in New York City. Based on his deepening understanding of the connections among worship, music, and human connection, he formed a group called Warriors of the Dream in Harlem, which used drumming as a vehicle for stimulating sacred conversation centered on Dr. Martin Luther King's dream of the beloved community. Today, Holton's work draws on partnerships among friends of many faiths, from which he derives a rich sense of spiritual nourishment.
