a silence or two: haiku of Jennifer Hambrick
$20.00
“As a reader, my encounter with many of Hambrick’s haiku has been similar to my experience with the Magic Eye stereograms of a few decades past. What initially appears randomly patterned suddenly shifts into something much more. It just requires a slightly different focus of the eye. What Hambrick is doing with the haiku form is truly exciting.”
— Michelle Tennison, author of Murmuration
Description
“a silence or two is shot through with shadow and grief, longing and loss. Language invigorates this territory until words inevitably fail. We join Hambrick in the silence and know that as women we must recover our identities, reclaim our worth, and write our own creation myths. This imperative is delivered with ferocity. a silence or two is destined to become a haiku classic.”
— Cherie Hunter Day
