In his second English language book, Mark Schardine finds inspiration in the Haiku and Senryu forms of poetry. Mark experiments with these forms in poems that reflect nature, fantasy, and real life.

Poetry

We can easily think of the act of seeing and of being seen as perfectly normal, even banal to thepoint of harmlessness. Of course, none of us will pass unnoticed, and we must not only use oureyes, but also our imagination, to view the world, aware that at any moment we venture close totreasures, and to dangers.Perhaps at the right moment we will open our eyes and minds, and find the joy our world offers,and which we can offer to others. Through poetry, Mark Schardine playfully navigates through dark topics to shed humor and light to compromising situations.

Reminiscent of romantic Victorian poetry, Schardine's poetry book is one filled with intimate snapshots in relationships of all types. Composed entirely in the Japanese form of tanka, this type of poetry "can bring into sharp focus a moment that gives joy, or one that leads to sorrow, or simply one that becomes an unmistakable memory. The reader may need less than a minute to read a tanka poem, but take much time to ponder its ideas."
