Marc Awodey's "NEW YORK a haibun journey" has been  described as "a poetic voyage into a harrowing artistic and spiritual  nether world. What Awodey evokes is the kind of pathos and desperate  insight of the Consul found in Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano." It  is also a stunning technical achievement- Awodey has reinvented and  redefined the haibun form- traditionally a mixture of narrative  combined with a concluding haiku. Awodey’s sections often begin with  haiku, and are followed by prose narratives that morph back and forth  into poetry as he rewrites most -if not all- of the haiku and haibun  rules.    However, New York: A Haibun Journey is more than a technical achievement or chronicle of self-destruction. Its rhythm and pacing are consciously symphonic. It is a personal journey that in a strange, sad, and ultimately redemptive way foreshadows the destruction and reverberations of Sept. 11. It's Awodey's Howl. It's poetry for our 21st century times.
