Robert N. Britcher combines
classical Japanese haiku with deeply reflective poems, helping
readers to explore both nature and the nuances of human life
GAITHERSBURG, Md., Aug. 26,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Combining the ancient
literary arts of poetry and haiku, author Robert. N Britcher shares
his talents in his new book "Haiku and Blue Mountain Poems."
The book is split into two different halves, with the first
comprising of traditionally formatted haikus, and the second
containing his collection of Blue Mountain Poems.
"I set out to examine my intuition in print," Britcher
explained. "Inspiration is the amalgamation of experience, memory,
the arts, including music, as poetry is a form of music, and a
commitment to the act of writing and reading verse. Intuition is a
blend of inspiration, reason, and, at times, the irrational."
Britcher's goal is to acquaint or re-acquaint readers with haiku
in the classical Japanese form. While traditional haiku takes
inspiration from the natural world, Britcher brings his unique
approach to the craft, drawing inspiration from human nature,
events, and worldly affairs. He continues to dive into these topics
and more in his longer-form poems as well.
"Poetry is for everyone," Britcher said. "People of all ages,
from all walks of life, can benefit from both reading and writing
it. Writing poetry is therapeutic, it allows us to slow down and
reflect on the world around us and to become more aware of
ourselves and our emotions. Our words and grammar reflect what we
see, hear, feel, imagine, and do."
