Three Lines to the Horizon: An Outback Haiku Journey

A poetic journey through Australia’s interior, Three Lines to the Horizon is a quietly powerful haibun—a blend of travel journal, prose meditation, and haiku.

In spare, lyrical language, Ryan Stone walks westward across the dust roads of the outback, searching for silence, stillness, and the spirit of Australian haiku.

With each chapter, the land opens wider. The sky presses down. And the road becomes both teacher and mirror.

This is not a guidebook. Not a memoir. Not a rulebook for writing haiku.

It’s a companion for those who walk slowly, breathe deeply, and listen for what the wind does not say.

Includes an original haiku companion section, with writing prompts, examples, and gentle advice.
