Book of the Week: walking into the sun
Janice M. Bostok is the godmother of Australian haiku, but of course she had to start somewhere just like the rest of us. This very early book of her work (shelters press, 1974) intimates the sensibility and command she would later present.
You can read the entire book in the THF Digital Library.
