The Color Blue, haiku of Alexis Rotella

Description

“The Color Blue is a great channeling of the poet’s life — uninhibited poetry at its best.”

— — Tom Clausen

“Reading Alexis Rotella’s latest book is much like scrying into a mirror or pool of water. There is a simple frankness and transparency to her poetry that is universally insightful and appealing. Even when using imagery — whether a white rose desiring to be pink, or a butterfly “winging it,” the very real struggle of what it means to be human is brought to light.”

— — Terri French

“One of my favorite all-time haiku poets, Alexis Rotella lives up to all my expectations, and more, in this collection. She is the rare poet whose work displays a wide range of talents — wit (from biting to laugh-out-loud), resonances (from sublime to surreal) and innovation (from startling juxtapositions to unusual, but effective sequencing). Maximum stars.”

— — George Swede

     Kite
     flying
     a little girl


          Letting go
          of who he thought
          I was


No one left
to write to
except the color blue
