by Jenny Ovaere and Geert Verbeke

This tri-lingual (Dutch-French-English) collection features some 50 photographs from around the world (mostly Asia) from Jenny, each accompanied by two haiku from her husband Geert. While the result does not claim to be haiga, there is an effective symbiosis between the beautifully executed images and the verses. Very nice production with excellent translations.

between silence
and applause
the fire-eater

entre le silence
et les applaudissements
le cracheur de feu

tussen stilte
en applaus
de vuurspuwer

in the meltingpot
the ancient stories
of wedding rings

dans le creuset
les histoires anciennes
des alliances

in de smeltkroes
de oeroude verhalen
van trouwringen

knocking on her door
her burst of laughter
in his memory

frapper à sa porte
son éclat de rire
dans sa mémoire

aan haar deur kloppen
haar schaterlach
in zijn herinnering
