Book of the Week: A New Moon
Bruce Feingold has a gentle way with haiku, with often a child-like tone, even as he covers turf from California to Maui to Tibet, and content from puppies to psychoanalysis. The charming illustrations by Eona are a good match in this work from 2004 (Red Moon Press).
You can read the entire book in the THF Digital Library.

A mixture of fun but crafted senryu and finely attuned haiku:
*
awake at midnight
my two year old fondles
his new lunch box
*
featherless chick –
a yellow jacket crawls in
a hollow eye socket
*
This book is well worth visiting, and revisiting.
kind regards,
