Overview

November Light: A Poetry of Post-Haiku Mindfulness In these luminous, meditative poems, attention becomes a practice and perception a path. Drawing on the discipline of haiku while moving beyond its traditional bounds, the collection traces the quiet rhythms of November-its light, its chill, its thresholds. Each poem is a mindful encounter with the world: snow, wind, and fleeting creatures; distance, intimacy, and loss; and the persistent, watchful presence of awareness itself. Rooted in ecological sensitivity and Buddhist-inflected mindfulness, the work invites readers to slow, to see, and to awaken within the ordinary and the ephemeral. About the Author Udaya R. Tennakoon is a poet based in Zürich. His work explores the interplay of nature, memory, and human experience, often finding inspiration in the subtle rhythms of everyday life. With a keen eye for observation and a delicate, experimental style, Udaya brings both thoughtfulness and intimacy to his poetry.
