A Cezanne Haibun

Combining memoir, anecdote, travel journal, prose poem, diary and essay Maitreyabandhu's A Czanne Haibun records a month spent alone in the Sierra Aitana mountains. Haibun a term first coined by the Japanese poet Matsuo Bash in a letter to a disciple in 1690 alternates prose with haiku or haiku-like poems. These are unforgettable meditations on the life and work of the post-impressionist painter Paul Czanne (1839 1906).
