There are so many versions of the poetic form of haiku that it's impossible for anyone not to find something they love, or something that at least speaks to them. I was happy to see I found fresh voices among those I already know of in this book.
A selection of works from this book that I'd call my favorites:
WINTER ECHO
Thin air! My mind is gone.- Yvor Winters
Suicide's Note
The calm,
Cool face of the river
Asked me for a kiss.
- Langston Hughes
Somewhere behind me,
seeming in dark-silence
to feel a slow coiling.
- Foster Jewell
The earth shakes
just enough
to remind us.
- Steve Sanfield
on a plaque
in the enemy's museum
names of our dead
- John J. Dunphy
