Images & Words

This page contains poems that, for the most part, were not originally published in a visual format. The text-only versions of these poems appear on the home page with first publications credits. Most of these haiga, shahai/photo-ku, and tanka art were originally posted on my Twitter feed. They were created by using the illustrative, interpretive, and associative techniques inspired by the Haiga Master, Ion Codrescu, though most are not considered to be haiga in the truest sense of the word! The Haiga Master, Kuniharu Shimizu, has also been a source of great inspiration. Please click on the images for a larger format. New content will be added from the top down...
