Quote:In his first published volume of contemporary haiku poems, Rays of Light, Edge of Darkness, Stephen J. Bergstrom reveals two opposing paths -- technology and nature -- that mesh within humanity to produce very different ends.

As you contemplate the haikus, you will experience the stillness of the natural world, the joy, sorrow and intent of being human and the stealthy advance of an undeniable hostility.

Rays of Light, Edge of Darkness, begins:
I.
Beginning

Hearing everything
Invisible first peoples
Supernatural

Emanation

Dreaming pleasing you
Universe galaxy earth
Sweet sage sandy loam

Anthropos

Must we have a place
Our own spot that resonates
The Old Snowy Path
