Book of the Week: together still

Philip Rowland, haiku’s leading authority on short-form poetry and an editor of the journal NOON<.i> and of Haiku in English, is pre-eminently and perhaps surprisingly a love poet, as evidenced in this, his first collection, from 2004 (Hub Editions).

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

newly in love —
so many things I
refrain from mentioning

inside an envelope
inside an envelope
funeral money

missing you     an exposed film

rain all day —
lying here, my breath
someone else’s

making love in silence —
forever strangers
to ourselves

snow
man’s
vows
