syphons: haiku of Rebecca Lilly
$20.00
“Lilly has long been a keen and articulate observer of the natural world, but she’s never been content to stop there; she probes nature for every possible connection with human feelings and meaning; increasingly, she experiments imaginatively and fruitfully with language and with the haiku form to express those connections.”
— Melissa Allen, author/editor of Red Dragonfly
Description
“I go to Lilly as to a wise woman, to syphons as to a book of simples meant to salve the soul. Hers is a remarkable sensibility, fluent in the tradition of haiku, fearless in its innovation. I go to Lilly as to a mentor, learning anew in each reading how to siphon each day until at last an essential self flows clear. You will, too.”
— Michele Root-Bernstein, author of Wind Rose
