DIY Arts Dinner Pack by John Reynolds

"In this world / We walk on the roof of hell / Gazing at flowers. This was written by Kobayashi Issa, an 18th century Japanese poet who was one of the Four Grandmasters of Haiku. The typically minimalist verse reads as a starkly modern, even contemporary, meditation on our own precarious times, tiptoeing as we are between damnation and salvation. Perfect text for a placemat, no?" – John Reynolds, 2006 Arts Foundation Laureate
