Jacobo Sureda - From the Conjurer of the Five Senses
Tree on a mountain
Some lightning gave it a fright
And it lost its leaves
Jacobo Sureda, the Mallorcan poet and painter, was a co-founder with Borges of Ultraism. His 28 haikus, presented here in their first complete translation are a perfect exhibition of miniatures putting on display the creative tenets of the movement, with their vivid, sparse, two-image metaphors.
