Cotton Moon: haiku and senryu - Paperback

by Barrie Levine (Author)

With a newly acquired haiku poet's sensibility, Barrie Levine looks at her life with fresh eyes.

Starting with a magical childhood, moving through love and loss, and finally living through the pandemic, she all the while takes into account the seasons of the year in classic haiku tradition. Whether she is writing about carefree summer days with her grandparents, selling the family homestead, or emerging as the woman she was meant to be, her short form haiku and senryu express universal joys and struggles in the words and simple images that reveal the heart of the poet.
