Reseña del libro "No Longer Strangers: Haiku Northwest Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Anthology (en Inglés)"
Haiku Northwest, the Washington State region of the Haiku Society of America, celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary with No Longer Strangers, a wide-ranging anthology of haiku, senryu, and haibun by 78 contributors from Washington, Oregon, Alaska, and British Columbia. Also included are poems by deceased members as well as Connie Hutchison's engaging history of the organization and its many contributions to poetry in the great Pacific Northwest."I'm intrigued by the thought of which one haiku I would choose to be remembered by. Over twelve hundred of my poems have been published. Would I want it to be humorous? Serious? Dealing with nature or human beings? About travel, art, the computer world? All of us are multidimensional beings. I have somewhat decided on one. It's a haiku you may have heard."poolside, we chatabout reincarnation;no longer strangers-Francine Porad, "A Personal Journey to Haiku""This collection, celebrating the first quarter century of Haiku Northwest, introduces readers to a thriving community of poets who sense the connection between fresh gingerbread and a sister's coming-out letter, who honor the soggy meaning of Raggedy Ann afloat at ebbtide, who gaze from atop the Space Needle to share 'how it feels / to spot a whale.' In the pages of this anthology readers become acquainted with a Northwest gathering of artists eager to share their deepest insights, perceptions, memories, and yearnings . . . no longer strangers."-David G.
