Wintermoon

In Wintermoon Robert Maclean Distils Twenty-five Years Of Living In Kyoto, Japan, Into A Single Seasonal Cycle Seen Through The Radically Minimalist Lens Of Haiku. Here Are 119 Precise Instants Of Focus, Divided Into Eleven Sequences - 'stepping Stones Leading To A Waterfall'. Each Set Of Poems Arrives At An Awareness Different From The One With Which The Set Began, And The Book As A Whole Maps A Transformative Journey Filled With Zen Practice, Loneliness, University Teaching, Questionings, Cultural Acclimation, Intimate Encounters With Nature, Romance And Marriage, And The Death Of Parents And Of An Unborn Child.
