Résumé du livre

Haibun is a literary combination of terse poetic prose with a Haiku at the end or interspersed in longer pieces. Prose in haibun tells the story with images, gives information, defines the theme, creates a mood through tone, provides a background to spotlight the haiku. Haiku moves the story forward, takes the narrative in another direction, adds insight or another dimension to the prose, resolves the conflict in an unpredictable way, or questions the resolution of the prose. The prose is the narrative and haiku is the revelation or the reaction. Haiku- Ghazal: A new form of poetry which he calls Ghazal-Haiku.
