From Breath to Words, a collection of haiku and photographs by Don Baird, is available on Amazon.
From the book description: “From Breath to Words is a book of haiku poetry (in contemporary western civilization style referenced as English Language Haiku, ELH) that is linked to one another by what is referred to as scent linking – a following poem picks up on something in the preceding poem and subtly carries it forward. There is a storyline that weaves the reader in and out of scenes that visit and re-visit various images and topics. Pictures often reflect something nuanced in the poetry and are used to slow the reader down by causing pondering and deeper thinking.”
Some poems from the book:
signs and symbols
this stairway
doesn't lead to heaven
fear of being reaching out seeps through
clouds cross paths a heart knows
From Breath to Words was self-published in 2023.
