Stallion's Crag, by Ken Jones
'"But what do hermits do?" she asked, balancing a wine glass in one hand'. The answer is in "Stallion's Crag", a 6000 word haiku-studded prose poem (haibun) set in the wilds of Plynlimon in mid Wales.
This is the centrepiece of Ken Jones's latest collection Stallion's Crag: Haiku Prose Poems of Wales. It includes sixty haiku - "Sheep & Conifers & Crows" which give a vivid picture of forest and mountain, neighbours and solitude. And there are eleven shorter haibun on topics ranging from rural depopulation to an Owain Glyndwr battle, and from a rural communion service to the people and places of the author's Cwmrheidol.

"head tilted to a night-sky packed with light
I waited for a music I could feel
like motion in the marrow of my bones,
as Goodricke must have done, night after night,
beyond all hearing, resonant as some
struck bell, harmonics
singing in his blood…"

Prison Urine Test For Drugs
I used to get a positive result
And I thought of it as
Putting two fingers up to the system.

And I think of it as
Putting two fingers up to the system.
