The name of the door

In memory of John Hinks

Tall, wide-arching trees
Assume a cathedral shape
Until darkness falls
 
I found out today that John passed away. John participated in the Naviar Haiku challenge for over 4 years, almost every week, and shared both his music and poetry with us. He'll be deeply missed.

"John Hinks, aka FlownBlue, was a prolific and talented composer, and a regular participant in the Haiku challenge. Aside from his solo project, John was also involved in multiple projects: ‘Windfall Light‘ (with Jim Tetlow), ‘Abstract Blue‘ (with Kevin Buckland), ‘Light Fragments‘ (with Steve Escott), Szukanie (with Michał Wojciechowski), and Meadowlight (with Emma Reed)."

Until Darkness Falls

Until Darkness Falls (naviarhaiku536)

A track inspired by Naviar Records weekly assigned haiku poem.
Music by Nicola Fornasari and Pier Giorgio Storti.

Tall, wide-arching trees
Assume a cathedral shape
Until darkness falls

(John Hinks)

Only the moon remains
floating in the memory upon
Kinokawa River
 
There's so little information about this amazing renga poet that I decided to share another poem written by him. This one is part of a longer sequence, written in 1463:

Only the moon remains
floating in the memory upon
Kinokawa River—
pale glistening waves,
the blank wake of drowned men.
 
About this poem, the author said: "Among the hundreds and thousands who have drowned and perished in this river
due to the disorders in this province were those whom I knew in former days. Often
I would walk along the river, gazing at the moon."

(Heart's Flower - The Life and Poetry of Shinkei)

Shinkei (1406-75) was a renowned renga poet and critic, best known for his two-part work "Sasamegoto" (Murmured Conversations). To find out more about this interesting and largely unknown poet-priest, I recommend reading Heart's Flower - The Life and Poetry of Shinkei by Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen

Mesmo “Absence and Presence”
Text: James Joyce

Voices:
Leopold Bloom – Ronnie Walsh
Stephen Dedalus – Patrick Dawson

The works Inflowoc, Accraol, Janesem, Rivlinone, Mergerime and Pippinur employ samples from the James Joyce “Ulysses” broadcast which occurred on Bloomsday 1982 when the Irish state broadcaster, RTÉ Radio, transmitted an uninterrupted 30-hour dramatized radio performance, by 33 actors of the RTÉ Players, of the entire text of James Joyce's epic 1922 novel, “Ulysses”, to commemorate the centenary of the author's birth (born 2 February 1882).
