Whispers from the Wild

Haiku poetry from the animal kingdom. A collection of animal-themed haiku by Kay Cora Jewett, of Wilsonville, OR, with illustrations by Vicki Cole, of Portland, OR. Jewett writes haiku in the tradition of three unrhymed lines of five- seven- five-syllables. "These poems have evolved from that mysterious place between consciousness and sleep," Jewett writes, "where haiku appears to me in all its dream-like glory." Example: Sunrise to sunset / Old ox plows his memories / Then plants something new.

6 x 9 inches, 63 pages, paperback, new.
