HAIKU & MANDALA: A Wedding of Ancient Art

Ruth Marcus weaves art and poetry in this original collection of 32 hand-drawn mandalas and modern haiku - a lush journey into ancient-art-cum modern. The sound of frogs and crows meld with the taste of blueberries and the scent of freshly baked bread. Readers will find themselves in the forest, wheat fields and coastal waters. From ice fishing to meditation, Ruth weaves the spiritual and political with nature and everyday life. An original work that marries two ancient arts. Readers are encouraged to contemplate the mandala and the haiku, discovering personal meaning. A beautiful gift book. Educational and inspiring.
