A New Resonance: Emerging Voices in English-Language Haiku

by Jim Kacian (Editor), Dee Evetts (Editor)

Assembled here is a substantial body of work by twenty different poets. Most of the circumstances of their lives distinguish them from one they come from three different continents, and from far across the wide expanse of this country; they are professionals and day laborers, educators, mystics. They are single and married, male and female, formal and informal. But they hold in common some things which recommend them to a clear eye; an ability to capture what they see accurately and with verve; a fondness for a brief form of poetry which they have found to be expressive and revelatory.
