pinned to the sidewalk white paper butterfly

have you stopped to say hello little sparrow

fragrance of emptiness in her hand a tiny flower

all frogs on the tree stump gone! except one

In Haiku Utterances, Marie Bortolotto invites us to slow down and attune to the poetic utterances that speak to us and through us from the heart of existence. Dropping the rules of traditional Japanese haiku, she writes in a free verse style that reflects ordinary day-to-day experiences. Most of the poems in this collection were gathered during daily walks while she was recovering from a lengthy illness. At first one may consider them too simplistic or insignificant, but once they seep into our hearts our eyes can see a depth of beauty found in the present moment. This book encourages us to cultivate an imaginal way of seeing by listening to the haiku utterances in our own lives.
