Book of the Week: A Small Umbrella

Today’s Book of the Week is A Small Umbrella, edited by Dee Evetts, and published in 1995 by the members of The Spring Street Haiku Group. This NYC group, which has been meeting regularly for over 20 years, has had a number of fine haiku poets as members, and has in that time published several chapbooks of members’ selections.
