Book of the Week: waiting in silence
Ion Codrescu is perhaps best known for his masterful haiga, but he has had a long and storied career in haiku as well. This bilingual chapbook (‘t schrijverke, 2009) doesn’t fail to include a few haiga as well.
You can read the entire book in the THF Digital Library.

I am delighted to mention that all the haiku numbers( 6) published
here are drawn with wonderful images interwoven and the one
mentioned below has ,in particular, a juxtaposition of images appealing to us. Appreciate.

Dear Radhamani Sarma, Thank you for your appreciation. This small book was published after selecting 50 % of my poems written during a period of two years.
Gosh this is a good book. Codrescu san gets back the elemental…I’m so grateful.
