Jux-ta-po-si-tions Volume III Robert Boni

"Jux-ta-po-si-tions Volume III" is the third in a set of collections of haiku and related short verses. Like the first two books, it contains 60 pages with 100 pieces plus a Foreword. It is a continuation of the author's pursuit of being through living with openness and relatedness to his surroundings i.e. heightened perceptions of reality. The short poetry form is an ideal vehicle for recording experience and enabling the presentation of one's unique perspective and personality. In Zen, it is professed that we are branches of the same tree. A hurt to one is a hurt to all, and a kind act of one benefits the rest. Sharing unique perspectives, each being equally valid, enriches us all. A range of emotions are revealed in the verses: redwood felled by a saw time ended two years old-walking with her father talking to his knees turning back the clock calling an old girlfriend
