HaikuYou: Finding Peace in Chaos

HaikuYou: Finding Peace in Chaos

Why Haiku?

Since the 17th century this unique form of poetic expression has been distilling the soul of thought into provocative, minimalist expression. In this collection Janette Kurban brings together the Five Elements and the natural world to offer soul soothing peace, understanding, and universal truth in times of uncertainty.

If you’re new to haiku, you may not realize the power of this poignant art form to hold the ideas, feelings, and emotions that connect us all.

Haiku You reveals this truth, traditionally arranged in three lines of five, seven, and five syllables. Haiku is clean, simple, and vivid, expressing the minimalist essentials of deep, provocative expression. Devoid of the usual poetic devices such as title, punctuation, rhyme, and other distractions, it reveals the pure soul of thought and observation.

You will discover vivid wordscapes in Haiku You that evoke new appreciation for how the simplest threads of emotion, passion, and hope can connect us deeply in just three short, unrhymed lines.

“Whether we realize it or not, we are all continually influenced by the Five Elements: water, earth, wood, metal, and fire — all playing in harmony with Mother Nature in our natural world,” Janette writes. “This collection of haiku is the culmination of my work within this awareness as I tried to make sense of the chaos of the 2020 Pandemic.

“Stepping back from this very personal work, I realized in the tradition of haiku, there is a unique pulling together of the Five Elements of the natural world. This synchronicity could offer others a sense of peace in times of conflict, understanding in times of doubt, and inner truth in times of sadness.”

JANETTE KURBAN is a board-certified chiropractor whose professional mission, “to help people achieve better health and better lives so they suffer less, become happier, and pass it on to others,” reached a new dimension following the uncertainty and isolation of the 2020 pandemic. Calling now upon her specific training in Chinese medicine and the martial arts, she offers Haiku You as soul-level healing, a poetic oasis in times of chaos.

It is hard to top the importance of our friends. I went to school with Tommy Spinks & Terry Bradshaw so this was a fun walk down memory lane. They had a life-long friendship that those of us who have had similar friendships cherish.

Wonderful Book Tommy Spinks was a friend of mine and I was broken hearted when he died so young. So it was a thrill to be able to have this book filled with his thoughts and pictures. Tommy had a wonderfully zany sense of humor and he loved to laugh. When you read this book be prepared to laugh a lot plus have a box of tissues near. I cried rivers when I read this book.

Great Book about a good guy!!! I bought “Dream Catcher” as a Christmas Gift for my mother. Since I went to junior high and high school with Tommy Spinks and Terry Bradshaw and my mother has known of them since that time, she has thoroughly enjoyed this book!!! She usually just reads at night and not during the daytime UNTIL “Dream Catcher” came along!!! Now she is reading in the day as well as night. She said she just can’t put it down!!! She said it is the “Best book she has ever read”!!! I can hardly wait until she finishes so I can read it too. Great book!!!
