Book of the Week: Spirit Dance

easter_spiritdanceCharles Easter founded and edited the journal black bough, an influential and beautiful if short-lived journal at the end of last century. He was an early exponent of haibun in English, which comprises much, though not all, of this, his first volume (self-published, 1997).

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

distant thunder
already the soil
damp-smelling


hunting
hearing hooves
through a tree


friend gone —
still walking the path
he showed me


plane passes
lovers still
in their embrace


midnight cicadas     strikers’ silent vigil


reefer brown smoke
I blow
into your mouth
