Watersmeet Haiku Group

Pardalote Press

RRP: $18.50 PB 64 pp

The haiku in this collection are like shot silk, lined with ever-shifting gauze. There are no weak haiku in the book. Every page, every poem, offers marvels of observation. The language sings, even where it may disconcert. Here are poets concerned with the everyday, with making the reader aware of the environment, with making true communication with the reader. There is, I think, a journey here for anyone – for everyone. The paths are all clearly marked in this fine collection. Patricia Prime
