Book of the Week: Bamboo Autumn

Our Book of the Week is Bamboo Autumn, by Barbara Buck, with illustrations by Gary Johnson. Barbara is a maker of fine, classic, nature haiku, focusing on moments in mankind’s experiences with nature, and nature’s interactions with man.

this winter morning
hen’s eggs
warming my hands

raindrops
stretching
the puddle

curled in its sac
wet puppy
born, and yet . . .
