$20.00
“Finally, a collection from this award-winning haiku poet! Hooven’s haiku are spare, yet roomy. Simple, yet essential. He celebrates the seasons with freshly observed and wonderfully executed haiku, written in a time-honored traditional style. Hooven is deftly and joyfully attuned to the subtle ways of both the human and natural worlds.”
— Brad Bennett, author of a box of feathers
Description
“Plainspoken and spare, Frank Hooven’s haiku continually astonish and move me with their fresh takes — approaching storm/a secret/passed tree to tree — and their emotive heft — worn sofa/the tight curl/of a rescue dog. The hand of a master is clearly — as in nearly invisibly — at play here. Hop aboard this magic carpet for one marvelous ride!”
— Scott Mason, author of The Wonder Code
