motif enters again on Higginson’s trip to Haiku North America where part of his talk at the convention will discuss the relation of haiku to the environment. During a visit with James W Hackett, author of The Zen Haiku and other Zen Poems of J. W. Hackett, Higginson again recognizes his own ideas when Hackett “expresses his concern for the environment, saying that he hopes haiku will help us recognize the equality of all species. ”77
Higginson’s major insight into this motif occurs while he is thinking about a senryu from The Gulf Within, an anthology of haiku and sen-on the Gulf War that was published by the Haiku Poets of Northern California. He meditates on the internal nature of war, which might be conceived of as violent thought and emotion, and quotes from one of Marianne Moore’s poems on this theme: “never was a war that was/not inward.” Finally, he relates these lines of poetry to his thinking on the connection of haiku to our relation to the nonhuman world and ourselves to produce one of our most profound expressions of haiku poetics.
If we could but bring this kind of insight, each day, to ourselves and our fellow human creatures, perhaps there would be fewer occasions for wars without. The haiku to face, unblinking, the natural world we must each make peace with and live within; the senryu to face, unblinking, the inner lives we must each somehow make more human, more natural.78
