Haiku Quintets

By Dan Dana

The Haiku Quintet is an innovation based on the traditional Japanese poetic form, but consisting of five haiku under a single umbrella idea which, as an ensemble, comprise a narrative theme. A photo or image illustrates and completes the final product. I dub this novel art form "verbal impressionism by curious wordcraft." This volume contains 142 quintets arranged in 15 topical albums, including Love & Relationships, Life & Death, Art, Science, Life Events, Racism, Coronavirus 2020, Politics 2020, Puerto Vallarta, and Lighter Fare. Designed to be enjoyed over many discontinuous sittings, the reader is encouraged to: Browse / Let your mind wander / Follow it there / Repeat.
