moonglow: haiga and haiku of Dian Duchin Reed
$20.00
“Words, though necessary for communication, are never the actual of what they’re describing. Poetry’s wizardry is in creating enough clarity for transmission, while granting space for mystery. The poems in moonglow deftly thread the needle between these opposite poles, opening a door for the reader to enter. From the first poem to the last I was entranced, surprised and rewarded.”
— Michele L. Harvey
Description
“moonglow is a deeply personal journey that ebbs and flows between finely crafted haiga, succinctly written haibun and haiku. Each page resonates with keen observations showcasing Duchin Reed’s skill and obvious love of her journey through life. A visual and storytelling gem.”
— Ron C. Moss
What I'm Doing on My Summer Vacation
My yard is not very big, but it’s big enough to shelter a million ants, keep the bees in business, and lure hummingbirds down to flirt with red flowers.
Who knew that aphids came in a rainbow of colors? When I sit still, I might see a gopher pushing dirt out of its hole, then taking a break while its head soaks in the warmth of the sun. I’m learning the towhee’s cat alarm and the crows’ hawk taunts. I sometimes hear coyotes singing along with a passing siren.
Did I mention the opossum babies who ride on their mother’s back at dawn? The skunk’s evening saunter? School’s about to start, and I haven’t even scratched the surface. The millipedes and Jerusalem crickets will have to wait till next summer.
