Book of the Week: Closing the Circle

rotellacover

Alexis Rotella made her mark particularly in two realms, psychological haiku and senryu. This volume from 1982 (Muse Pie Press) shows both of these aspects of her work, along with the second-most famous one-word haiku in the language.

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

Do you have a chapbook published 2009 or earlier you would like featured as a Book of the Week? Contact us for details.

Haiku featured in the Book of the Week Archive are selected by Jim Kacian, following a concept first explored by Tom Clausen, and are used with permission.




Saying goodbye to old neighbors
their faces
already some place else


in the tin bucket     ccclatter of ccclams



flute
waiting
for breath


through fog the sound of a prayer wheel


through the bird skull whistle of wind


winter sky:
grinding
ink
