Author Robert Hobkirk Releases New Book of Haiku

July 20, 2015 - PRLog -- If you're looking for your next “aha” moment, you may want to try a foray into haiku. The classic style of Japanese poems is well-known for brevity and simplicity, using a 5-7-5 syllable sequence to convey its message in few words.

Says author Robert Hobkirk of the style: “This brevity guides the poet to crystalize his vision of the sublime in the ordinary.” Hobkirk has just released his latest book, Haiku Avenue: 333 Haiku Poems. The book contains haiku which range in subject matter. While some of the poems are about the classic Japanese subject of nature, others approach more contemporary Western matters involving life, relationships, and the economy.

“Hopefully,” Hobkirk continues, “the experience will inspire you to write your own haiku. Readers are invited to check out the new book on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Haiku-Avenue-333-haiku-poems-ebook/dp/B00UIZB268/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8
