Angelic Flights

Haiku in four languages.ANGELIC FLIGHTS is a collection of haiku written originally in Irish (Gaelic) by Gabriel Rosenstock translated into English Greek (by Sarah Thilykou) and Japanese (by Maki Starfield) and photographically complemented by Kon Markogianni.These glimpses caught in words or images are each so weightless and so shifting that you could think they have no substance...that is until the moment when like curling smoke and light they touch each other in the darkness and a bright perception takes form looks back at us comes alive.--Philip GrossThe exquisite fusion of image and word renders a deeply satisfying aesthetic experience whereby we are transmuted by its profundity exquisiteness and light. Indeed accomplished artists in their own right photographer and poet have melded their talents to produce a visceral and ethereal monograph on the flights of angels and in turn have lifted up our souls to the very gods.--Paula MarvellyThe initial experience of flicking through the pages reminded me of seeing the films of the American filmmaker Kenneth Anger whose work was a blend of surrealism eroticism and the occult . . . For those who like the ambitious and iconoclastic and also mingle a taste for the horror channel with a penchant for the shadow side of the psyche this would make a great gift.--Diana Webb review in Blithe Spirit Journal of the British Haiku SocietyVol. 32 No.2Poetry.
