Three Breaths

"Three Breaths" is poet Nancy Brady's latest foray into the intriguing world of haiku. In this volume she experiments with a form she calls "haiku reduction". A short poem is restated several times, each repetition being a shorter breath of a central idea which forms the heart of the verse.

Nancy Brady is a pharmacist by profession and a poet by nature. A native Ohioan, she draws inspiration from the beauty of her surroundings, and captures moments in haiku and other short poetry forms. In this volume, she experiments with a new poetry form she calls haiku reduction by taking verse in the traditional form and sifting it through stages to its essential single breath.
