L A Davidson was the living archive of the haiku community from its earliest days, which has sometimes overshadowed her contributions as a poet. This late book (2003, illustrated by Tony Kulik (all rights reserved), and still in print from Swamp Press (so we can’t yet offer you the entire book), supplies a taste of her late style: normative, but with a light, fresh touch that is easy to like.

the sheep dog
almost spoken to
explodes with joy
dark boat cabin
phosphorescent sparkles
in the flush
sitting quietly
in a mountain clearing:
bird song more and more
