Description

Haiku has an accessible, poetic charm that balances artistry with intention. Each turn of phrase reminds us of the natural world with a seasonal reference, explicit or implied. This collection takes readers of all ages through the year, featuring haiku inspired by 35 different holidays. As standalone poems or paired with glorious photographs taken by the author, the haiku offer glimpses of our annual celebrations, with tribute to the places they hold within our cultures and calendars.
