Book of the Week: Wind the Clock by Bittersweet
Bill Pauly was one of the first poets to explore the use of concrete poetry effects in English-language haiku, and never better than in this, his remarkable and prescient first chapbook (HIGH/COO PRESS, 1977).
You can read the entire book in the THF Digital Library.
Do you have a chapbook published 2009 or earlier you would like featured as a Book of the Week? Contact us for details.
Haiku featured in the Book of the Week Archive are selected by Jim Kacian, following a concept first explored by Tom Clausen, and are used with permission.
