The Healing Spirit of Haiku begins with a brief history of haiku, although it is not a book about haiku. Rather, it is haibun of the psyche, an exchange of poetry and prose between two old friends who set out to accomplish a soulful journey together.

Finding Love and Life make the world go round and provide meaning for everyone.

"David Rosen in this memoir is in turns vulnerable, courageous, sad, joyful, too human, funny, and extraordinarily generous and wise. Woven together into a truly wondrous adventure, it shows his great heart and spirit."--Mark Unno, Professor of Religious Studies, University of Oregon, and Shin Buddhist Priest"A psychiatrist, Jungian analyst, researcher, artist, stand-up comedian--Dr. Nada--and a writer with a wide range, David Rosen is, beyond what he has done, a man who has truly transformed his depression through a creative life. Torn Asunder is the latest example of a man whose life and work are an inspiration."--Robert D. Romanyshyn, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, Pacifica Graduate Institute"Torn Asunder, putting back the pieces, a lifelong journey, is for moving toward wholeness, responding to the spirit's depth--poetic, philosophical, wholehearted, and felt--and the experience of the Tao."--Shen Heyong, Professor, South China Normal University and Fudan University

In nature, it is common knowledge that, like the diamond, gold is eternal. Nearing the age of seventy-five, David Rosen, though dealing with aging, chronic illness, and other end-of-life issues, recognizes also in this time that his creative ability is strengthened by keener and more intimate self-knowledge and by deeper connections with the earth and his surroundings. The title of this collection comes from Rosen's small poem, "Cold grey wind . . . / warming to gold," which reflects his process of staying connected to Earth and family, despite cold grey winds of age and change. These poems will touch readers and stimulate them on their own quests for meaning. This is the ninth collection of haiku by David H. Rosen.
