Book of the Week: Flow

 

Our Book of the Week is Flow, by Del Doughty, poet, and Professor of English at Huntington University, Indiana.

“Doughty is a craftsman who knows what is well made and exactly where to place the one small imperfection that will make us cherish his whole work. This is an impressively coherent collection of parts, producing something greater—something living.”
-John Stevenson

“Flow is the perfect title for Del Doughty’s collection of haiku and haibun. He provides ordinary-extraordinary examples of the Flow: oozing mud, kitchen ants, paint onto canvas, tap water, a stopped drain, traffic in a drive-thru, a grocery-store queue, . . . indeed our very life itself. This is a finely conceived and executed work.”
-Charles Trumbull
