About this title

Synopsis

TRANQUILITY BASE: Landing in the World of Haiku

by Kenneth L. Faught

Step onto your own Tranquility Base-a place of reflection, wonder, and attentive living.

In this engaging collection, Kenneth L. Faught invites readers into the rich world of haiku, where ordinary moments become extraordinary through careful observation and thoughtful expression. Inspired by the spirit of the Apollo 11 landing site that gives the book its title, Tranquility Base offers a literary landing place amid the noise and distractions of modern life.

Featuring hundreds of original haiku, Faught explores:

• People both famous and unknown
• Domestic and wild animals
• Faith, compassion, and the Good Samaritan tradition
• The beauty and mystery of creation
• Personal reflections on life, loss, aging, friendship, and hope
• A unique series of haiku inspired by the Gospel of Mark

Beyond the haiku themselves, readers will discover annotated poems, practical discussions of haiku form and terminology, reflections on spirituality and poetry, and introductions to the great masters of the haiku tradition.

Whether you are a longtime lover of Japanese poetry, a student of spirituality, or someone simply seeking moments of stillness and insight, Tranquility Base demonstrates how a few carefully chosen words can open vast landscapes of meaning.

Filled with humor, wisdom, faith, and wonder, this collection reminds us that haiku is more than a poetry form-it is a way of seeing.

Come land at Tranquility Base, and discover the beauty hidden in everyday life.
