a flash of green: haiku of Bill Cooper

$20.00

“‘lifting off’ from this collection’s first haiku, Cooper immerses us in the heat, music, and color of the coastal South, through mangroves and cypress swamps, gallinules and gators, ghost orchids and conch shells, funeral jazz and sea turtles, grandchildren and geckoes — the sensuality of the ‘warm gulf’ intercut with keen-eyed senryu — to share the textured landscape of an observant life.”
— Kristen Lindquist

Description

“Bill Cooper is a master at capturing the quiet moments that move us, literally and emotionally, and in a flash of green, we are transported. The immediacy of the moment is conveyed through the juxtaposition of keenly observed public and personal details, with serious notes leavened by music and gentle humor.”
— Beverly Acuff Momoi
