Haiku in four languages. ANGELIC FLIGHTS is a collection of haiku written originally in Irish (Gaelic) by Gabriel Rosenstock, translated into English, Greek (by Sarah Thilykou), and Japanese (by Maki Starfield), and photographically complemented by Kon Markogianni. "These glimpses caught in words or images are each so weightless and so shifting that you could think they have no substance...that is, until the moment when like curling smoke and light they touch each other in the darkness, and a bright perception takes form, looks back at us, comes alive."--Philip Gross "The exquisite fusion of image and word renders a deeply satisfying aesthetic experience, whereby we are transmuted by its profundity, exquisiteness and light. Indeed, accomplished artists in their own right, photographer and poet have melded their talents to produce a visceral and ethereal monograph on the flights of angels and in turn have lifted up our souls to the very gods."--Paula Marvelly Poetry.

Haiku Enlightenment is a delightful, often playful look at haiku as both a poetic craft and a pathway of awakening – for poets, seekers and creative rebels. Gabriel Rosenstock has given us a rich collection of insights, distilled from a lifetime dedicated to the art and practice of poetry, on stepping into inspired moments. Using a generous selection of contemporary and classical haiku, he explores ideas of creativity and perception, encouraging us to calm the restless mind, notice what is overlooked, explore the world around us, and fully encounter each glowing moment. From such moments, haiku – and enlightenment – emerge. Praise for Haiku Enlightenment: “Gabriel Rosenstock offers us a marvelous path into the essence of haiku and the state of being in harmony with the laws of the universe.” - ION CODRESCU Romania Poet and renowned haiga artist Poet and haiga artist Author-illustrator of Something Out of Nothing: 75 Haiga and Haiga: Peindre en poésie “A learned, imaginative and profound commentary on haiku with many outstanding examples from around the globe, demonstrating the form’s universal appeal. Persons with little knowledge of haiku will be captivated, while those with expertise will feel renewed...” - GEORGE SWEDE Canada Co-founder of Haiku Canada, editor of Global Haiku: Twenty-Five Poets Worldwide and author of Almost Unseen: Selected Haiku “Rosenstock is an excellent teacher, wise enough to realise that in describing haiku (as in so many other things) examples are worth a million words. He spreads before us a variegated tapestry of haiku, by poets in all places and at all times since haiku began, as well as from his own ingenious pen, in which ‘the spirit of play and the play of spirit are simultaneous and one’.” - DAVID COBB England Founder of the British Haiku Society, editor of The Humours of Haiku and The British Museum Haiku “From the wealth of his experience, Rosenstock gives profound advice and useful tips for the wanderer on the haiku path, showing us how sudden enlightenment can happen in our ordinary life.” - RUTH FRANKE Author of Lapislazuli and Slipping Through Water “With edifying purpose, the author subtly introduces examples of haiku’s apocalyptic potential of transfiguration, known in haiku and Zen as ‘spiritual interpenetration’ and, by so doing, offers the reader an opportunity to witness—through numinous haiku moments—the entwining of the Universal Spirit with Its Self.” - JAMES W. HACKETT Author of The Way of Haiku, Zen Haiku and Other Zen Poems, and A Traveler's Haiku

- Olivier Schopfer (Switzerland)\nPRAISE FOR THE AWAKENED ONE\nThis is the first anthology I have seen that collects contemporary haiku from every continent, every nook and cranny of our planet. Pairing Japanese masters of the past with people writing haiku right now, The Awakened One is full of little zap insights. You feel that thrill, that quick wake-up to the ordinary, when the junky human stuff drops away and our world feels moist, tender, and real. Why has haiku been equated for so long with Buddhist insight? Pull this packet, compiled by Adjei Agyei-Baah and Gabriel Rosenstock, from your hip pocket. You might find your original self peeking from these little poems.\n- Andrew Schelling

A lavish edition of 94 ekphrastic haiku and senryu in Irish and English responding to full-colour collages by Karl Waldmann Judgement Day is Gabriel Rosenstock's "latest reckoning of who and what we are between the shoals of eternal good and historical evil, vision and blindness. His lantern is a bright one and illuminates vast, evolving worlds of mind, matter and choice, within a cosmology where anything appears and proves to be possible. The dark rubble, tossed forms, and dissociation of Karl Waldmann's collage art, give to each of Rosenstock's poems a setting of tactile grit that singes the imagination." (Michael McClintock, recipient of the Haiku Foundation's Touchstone 2015 prize for haiku)
