Poetry Books - Ashide A Second Nature
'Ashide - A Second Nature' is a collection of high quality, impressionistic photographs, including innovative panoramas, by Carol Ballenger and related haiku by John Powls themed around Japanese style gardens in England. In the creative process of developing the collection the haiku, the photographs and the gardens iterate and respond with each other.
Ashide is a style of Japanese illustrated poem from the 11th century Heian era where calligraphic interpretations of a poem are woven into a watercolour garden illustration, for example in the sweep of a plant stem
'Ashide - A Second Nature' has the active support of the Japanese Garden Society and the Cultural Section of the Japanese Embassy, each of whom have contributed a foreword to the book.
