      from #87 – Haibun

      Katie Beswick

      “For a long time, I didn’t understand haiku—somehow the haibun form made the possibilities of haiku clearer to me. I love the leap embedded in the form; I especially love how the resonance between title, prose, and haiku leaves room for the interpretative work of the reader. I want to work as a reader; I want to leave space for the reader in my writing.”
