Alone on a Wild Coast
by Renée Owen. From the back cover: "I have long been a fan of Renée Owen's work, some of the most beautiful being written today. She manages to be both classical and modern at the same time, using fresh images and engaging, human-oriented themes. It's wonderful to have a full-length collection of her haiku, sequences, and haibun." Charles Trumbull Editor emeritus, Modern Haiku

floating in mono lake salt sea sky |
A very welcome collection, to be savored and reread.
