Finally! A poem in English that gives the feeling that a good Japanese haiku has when it melds form and content:
A pot poured out
Fulfills its spout
This fabulous poem can be found in Samuel Menashe; New and Selected Poems, published in a stunning edition by the American Poets Project and edited by Christopher Ricks. Menashe, now 80 years old, is the winner of the Neglected Masters Award from the Poetry Foundation, and he deserves the recognition.
