Brief Review of “Cosmic Symphony (A Haiku Collection) by Pravat Kumar Padhy, published in Modern Haiku, Volume 50.3, Autumn 2019, p.117


Front loaded with twenty-five pages of foreword, preface, and an essay on “Haiku: A Scientific Art,” the curtains finally part for a view of the stars, Padhy’s debut collection of over a hundred haiku relating earth-bound affairs to stellar matters. Intense bursts of light from a few meteors and other celestial bodies make hanging around for the full planetarium show worthwhile.

milky way— / lightning splits / the darkness;

half moon— / the child wonders / the rest;

love making— / the moon leaning / over the tides
