Book of the Week: endgrain
Dee Evetts has a considerable stake in the history of English-language haiku—co-founder of the British Haiku Society, curator of the Haiku on 42nd Street project—not least by his nuanced, soft-spoken poems. endgrain (Red Moon Press, 1997) marked his coming to his full flight of powers, and won a Merit Book Award from the Haiku Society of America.
You can read the entire book in the THF Digital Library.

With so many talented haiku voices out there, Mr. Evetts is exceptional.
A long time favorite; as good to read now as it was the first dozen or more times.
As John says! 🙂

Also great to meet Dee Evetts, and I might have bought my copy direct from him. Very influential haiku poet; poems, collection.
