a turn in the river, haiku of Brad Bennett

Description

Shortlisted for the Touchstone Distinguished Books Award 2019 by The Haiku Foundation!

a turn in the river is Brad Bennett’s much-anticipated second full-length collection with Red Moon Press, following upon his award-winning debut a drop of pond from 2016. You will find the same sure sense of nuance, continuity and sensibility here, plus an even surer hand and eye. An award-winner-to-be for certain.

“Reading Brad Bennett’s haiku, one almost expects a pine needle or bit of dry leaf to fall out from between the pages. With the authenticity of a poet truly at home in the natural world, Brad shares his reverence for the places, creatures and people that make each of these brief moments extraordinary.”
