A Ghost Walking Through a Dream - by William Carey (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Have a look at the world through the eyes of an artist...viewing it through a prism of art and haiku. Curious and eccentric, this book covers a wide range of subjects from romance to philosophy. It has over 100 haiku and 50 illustrations. It is easy to read with unusual words defined at the bottom of the page. Haiku, is a seventeen syllable Japanese verse form, that began in 17th century Japan. It is a very spontaneous process that distills thoughts and observations down to their essence. You may be inspired to write some of your own. The art in this book is just as spontaneous. Many of the initial sketches were done in coffee houses, then they were finished in the studio. In many cases, the art and haiku have been combined into an illustrated/haiku form. The main purpose of this book is to entertain. So, enjoy. Every time you pick it up, you may find new insights into these poems.
