The Floating Universe of poet Gabriel Rosenstock

copertina-comp

The Floating Universe is an online booklet of ekphrastic haiku, i.e. responding to works of art (in public domain), in Irish and English by Gabriel Rosenstock, translated into Scots by John McDonald, into Japanese by Mariko Sumikura and into Greek by Sarah Thilykou.

This Greek paintings haiku project, «attractively put together by Jim Swift, is an outstanding example of creative collaboration that can uniquely be delivered by poets and artists working outside the dominant language canons». (Yiorgos Chouliaras, poet)
