The Disjunctive Dragonfly is Richard Gilbert’s update of a portion of his seminal Poems of Consciousness (Red Moon Press, 2008), wherein he investigates how language experimentation in contemporary English-language haiku both connects and radically departs from 20th century conventions. Gilbert identifies 24 varieties of disjunction that haiku poets have at their disposal, with examples and explication. This volume is the most important theoretical study of English-language haiku in the new century, and will leave its imprint on the genre for generations.
