Some of the Silence

Some of the Silence is a collection by John Stevenson that assembles concise English-language haiku focused on the understated moments of daily life.

The collection exemplifies his skill at blending haiku's contemplative tradition with modern, often urban, subject matter.

Through precise imagery and economical language, the poems invite readers to complete the creative act by filling gaps of meaning.

The book contributes to Stevenson's reputation as a leading figure in contemporary English haiku.
