Abigail's Blurb on back cover:

“Elaine Andre has been researching, writing, and teaching haiku for many years. In this collection of haiku, devoted to her own work, we see how her studies of traditional Japanese haiku have led to her own tightly-written poetry, contemporary in subject yet faithful to their Japanese antecedents. This book is well-suited to writers new to the art as well as seasoned writers who understand that haiku in English need not be seventeen syllables, and will welcome seeing how other elements of Japanese haiku transfer so nicely to the English language.” — Abigail Friedman
