anne mckay’s lyrical approach to form in haiku has had no equal, and nearly all her poems are instantly identifiable. Those contained here (wind chimes press, 1995) are characteristic, in her usual colorful vein.

You can read the entire book in the THF Digital Library.

from trestles the summerboys daring and diving
waiting still darkeyed women walk the widow walk
to find again the footpath the single leaf
that message in green glass returning on winter waters . . .
tentatively on the ice edge tracing her figure eights
