Book of the Week: A Nameless Place
Joanne Morcom has a predilection for topics that are generally outside of haiku’s classical content, especially the dark places of the heart and mind. This 2006 work (Sam’s Dot Publishing) supplies a good sampling of her deepest fears.
You can read the entire book in the THF Digital Library.
