Book of the Week: walking into the sun

bostok_walkingintothesunJanice 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.

the trees green
differently each time
I visit this place


moonless night
just the breakers showing
where the shore begins


abandoned mine:
rockhounds coming
by coach tour


wind
circling
into
leaves


pregnant again . . .
   the fluttering of moths
      against the window


before dawn
from beneath bird wings
the first chirp
