Book of the Week: Bug Haiku

Open as he was to the beauty and enchantment of the world of insects, James Hackett published this charmingly illustrated collection of Bug Haiku to open it to our eyes in its multifarious business. It is our Book of the Week.

 

The fleeing sandpipers                                                                            turn about suddenly                                                                                  and chase back the sea!

 

A long line of web                                                                                        unseen, but for the shifting stretches                                                    that return the sun

 

The frightened crawdad runs                                                                  facing his danger head on –                                                                      while in reverse!

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

  1. You have an edit mistake in this post and a link that leads to the wrong book. I think it’s left over from last time?

  2. There should be a statue to him when those who raped our world instead of celebrating its
    fragility, diversity, beauty and preciousness are toppled from their lofty pedestals.
