One Ordinary Day at a Time by Sarah J Harris

Digtsamlingen, Ildkorn - Fra stort til sm t best r af 77 Haikudigte. Det er moderne stemningsdigte, og samtidig en r kke hverdagsbetragtninger, der kredser om nuet i og omkring os. Bag ethvert haiku ligger der en sansning, en id ... At dykke ned i en s tning og n frem til dybden i et udsagn, i en sansning, i verseformen, indeholder stor visdom. Man kan sammenligne Haiku digtning med, hvis man fanger en flue i en papirspose med luft i. Fluen vil ud i lyset. Holder du posen op til ret, vil du kunne h re og m rke fluens summen mod det knitrende papir for en stund, indtil du lukker fluen ud i friheden igen. Imens du lytter til fluens rumsteren i papirsposen, vil dine sanser sk rpes - hvis du ellers tilllader fluen at flytte ind i dig. Da vil du b de sanse og f le oplevelsen i bevidstheden. Som var du fluen selv: Jeg er alt dette Naturen er s stor, og den kan f n til at f le sig meget ydmyg og lille. S dan er det p en m de ogs , at give sig hen til haikuet s form og struktur. Bogen er desuden udbygget med en billedside i form af 'makroer', der tjener som en slags sanse-underskov, som giver liv og inspiration til ordene. God forn jelse
