a piece of the Berlin Wall, haiku by Marcus Larsson

Description

Shortlisted for the Touchstone Distinguished Books Award 2018 by The Haiku Foundation!

Marcus Larsson’s distinctively calm voice and relationship-based content have combined to create a body of work unlike any other in English-language haiku. a piece of the Berlin Wall is a distillation of the poet’s style, and a worthy complement to his earlier collection, Dad’s Accordion, also from Red Moon Press.

“. . . these are delicate flowers to be savored slowly again and again.”

— Charles Trumbull

          the teacher
          still remembers us
          winter sun

     summer wind
     and uncle moves his chair
     to the children’s table

               no reply
               even though you hear me
               wildflowers
