“My poems rely on the interplay of prose and poetry. If the prose is a meandering path, the haiku are birdcalls. They guide the travellers, not by holding their hand but by telling them that there is more to be explored. The haiku often allow the reader a toe inside the door, or a window to be privy to a parallel scene unfolding in the street below without ever leaving the room. They offer a different vantage point, a new strain of thought.”
Red River poet Paresh Tiwari discusses the arts and crafts of his work in an insightful interview with Jhilam Chattaraj in Frontier Poetry. Read the complete interview, Writing Haiku as a Possessed Man in Frontier poetry.
