The Year in Haiku

"Awe floats around us like the air we breath, yet we have precious little space to let her into our daily lives, to surrender to capture."

Based on a year-long experiment to write a haiku a day placed onto an instagram photo, Lederach shares poems, photos and reflections about the mystery and mindfulness of poetry. Long known for his work as a practitioner-scholar in peacebuilding this is his first book of published poetry. Short, simple, and provocative this deeply contemplative book leads the reader across bridges that connect social change, poetic listening, and the gift of beauty that sustains joy.
