In this second collection of poetry William Winslow distills often overlooked moments in life into the 17 syllables of traditional Hailu. Many of his observations are traditional as well - addressing the seasons and the daily encounters with the natural world which we frequently fail to acknowledge. ¿ Those who seek out poetry in all its varied forms and those who appreciate all things Japanese will enjoy this collection - especially so if they also have a fondness for dogs or the mountains of western North Carolina.
