Su questo libro

Recensione:

This is an extraordinary book, full of wisdom, and racked with emotion that is steadied by quite amazing linguistic skill, nuance, and blazing insight. It reminds you of what poetry is really about. A thrill to read. --Robert Anthony Welch, Professor Emeritus of English, University of Ulster, sometime Dean of Arts; poet, novelist, critic, editor of the Oxford Companion to Irish Literature

It is not only that Clare McCotter brings a new lyricism and emotional breadth to the haiku and its sister forms, the tanka and the haibun. Here also are startling juxtapositions of language, sudden openings-out of the spirit. --Mark Rutter, poet and past editor of Blithe Spirit, Journal of the British Haiku Society

The polished and focussed imagery and elusive haunting metaphors linger on, compelling a return again and again. And the context of a simple, elegant book design provides a further incentive. --Ken Jones, joint editor of Contemporary Haibun Online
