The Way A Poem Emerges: A Haiku Trinity & Beyond($20.00Value)

Description

The book collects 124 of Swede's poems into three sections defined by his concept of a "haiku trinity," and a fourth section for poems that don't fit into his "tripartite scheme." All the haiku were previously published in journals and anthologies from 1978 through 2022, with the majority from 2000 onward. A new book by George Swede is cause for heightened anticipation, if not rejoicing. --Vicki McCullough, Haiku Canada Review, 2023, 17:1 It was an honour and pure pleasure to review such a poetry gem and if you are curious, just like I was, to find out what the haiku trinity is and what lies beyond, pick up this book and start reading. --Iliyana Stoyanova, Blithe Spirit, 2023, 33:1 Swede is always an enjoyable read. --Paul Miller, Modern Haiku, 2023, 54.1 *Co-founder of Haiku Canada, 1977 *Editor, Frogpond: Journal of the Haiku Society of America, 2008-2012 *Honorary Curator, American Haiku Archives, 2008-2009 * Forty-four collections of poetry by publishers in Canada, England, France, Poland and the United States
