Haiku:
A Selection of Winter Sketches
by Marie Bortolotto
Artist Marie Bortolotto finds inspiration in the poems of Japanese haiku master, essayist and literary critic Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902). He radically reformed the haiku with his idea of “sketching from life” which encourages poets to see the world as it is and write from their own experience. Haiku: A Selection of Winter Sketches is Marie Bortolotto’s third book of haiku (each one written in 3 simple lines) in which she offers a window into mindfulness, inspiring us to open the eyes and ears of the heart and find beauty in the present moment, even in the wet, grey winters of Western Canada.
