By the Way: haiku of Kevin Bailey
$20.00

— D. M. Thomas
“. . . poems . . . as good as any I’ve read in a long time — pure, translucent, economical and erotic.”
— Al Alvarez
Description
dusk falls between
high hedges — our parting draws
yet another tear
“But whose tear? The girl’s? The man’s? Or could it be both? I prefer to think so. Kevin is a very special kind of male whose sensibility is so acute, it allows him to share the profoundest feelings in a woman. That is something very rare, and it is what makes these haiku, too, both earthy and rarified.”
— James Kirkup
on the bed-side table fifty years my friend the ticking watch spasm — the wind t w i s t s the yew tree . . . falling may blossom — my daughter’s hand tired of waving on this old sick bed seeing you only in dreams I fall with the rain
