Manifest signed paperback
In her poetry collections, Insomnia: A Middle-of-the-Night Collection and Awakening: A Haibun Collection, indie author Lauren Bartleson uses the art of haibun—haiku studded with prose—to document and process her mental health journey. In Manifest: A Haibun Journal, Lauren invites you to bring your own story to life.
The process is simple and straightforward: flip open to a page and write down how you’re feeling. Just one word. That one word will become the title of your poem.
From there, you’ll expand on that emotion, detailing what’s going through your mind at the moment; what you’re feeling, seeing, hearing, and so on. This will become the prose.
Lastly, you’ll use the abovementioned emotions to inspire your haiku. You’ll write a line with five syllables, a second with seven syllables, and a third with five syllables. The three parts together—title, prose, and haiku—create one haibun.
Each section has an easy-to-follow prompt so you can dive right in. Once you fill in the fifty prompts, you’ll have a collection of poems detailing your emotional journey.
