Dwelling beneath the formal aspect of Juxtaposition is the force of Disjunction, a force that disrupts perception and challenges the very notion of what a haiku is.  In today's episode, we explore Richard Gilbert's essay The Disjunctive Dragonfly, which shifts the conversation about haiku from what haiku is, to how haiku work. Gilbert argues that the true power of haiku lies in the concept of "disjunction," a force that disrupts readers' perceptions and challenges our understanding of how meaning arises within haiku.   Gilbert's essay, The Disjunctive Dragonfly, can be read in its entirety by Clicking Here.   Gilbert's introduction to Jim Kacian's long after can be read by Clicking Here.  William M.
