Description

Moon on Wild Grasses (with illustrations by the author) shows the unsuspected scope of a very concise, precise poetic form. Keith Garebian? haiku encompass a wide range of themes in a vividly elegant style that combines the pictorial with the passionate, erotic or reflective. Nature, empirical experience, the self, love, death, and grief are captured with a perceptive, sensitive eye.

Editorial Reviews

“eith Garebian writes with solicitousness, rage, and pure confidence in his resources...Garebian places poetry at the service of his identity--personal, political, and human--and draws vitally from the store of imaginative vigour. The poems in Children of Ararat are creations of a man with an 'optic heart'--a man who belongs to the people, to his father's people, as well as to a wider span of citizenry intent on the pursuit of transparency, justice, and human renewal.?(Elana Wolff, Open Book Toronto, August 3, 2010)
