Spring Visitors, haiku of Joseph M. Kusmiss

Description

Joseph M. Kusmiss’s second full-length collection of haiku, Spring Visitors, picks up just where his first (end of summer, Red Moon Press, 2015) leaves off – exploring the natural world and the human reaction to it. In that time his skills of observation and recounting have been increasingly refined, and we find here a poet at the height of his powers, delineating a world that is familiar to us, and at the same time full of amazement.

spring morning sun —
even the gravestones
look hopeful

                    western horizon
                    obscured by trees —
                    new comet

          old memories —
          the smell of woodsmoke
          on the autumn air
