Book of the Week: Faraway Hills
Frank Williams has been a mainstay of British Haiku for the last decade, and his keen, often piquant observations and sure technique make his work easy to like. Faraway Hills (self-published, 2010) falls easily into this category, a very brief set of vignettes, each crisp and hinting of multiple stories beyond, as our examples will testify.
You can read the entire book in the THF Digital Library.

You kept these one a secret.
Nicely done sir!
Thanks Alan Summers for the link to another.
Lovely haiku collection!
This one is my spooky favorite:
brooding sky – a murder
of crows silhouette
the leafless tree
one of Britain’s finest
.
Enjoy too, Frank’s fish and chips on a bus haiku and the history:
