Available from: Amazon

Follow the author on her voyage, near and far, via vista and verse. The inspiration for this poetry volume arises from travels, stateside and abroad. Within this text are monoku, haiku, and senryu. Some haiku are in the classic 5-7-5 format; more follow the looser American tradition. Full-color photographs are included to further illustrate the poetic thought.
For more short verse by the author, you will find haiku sprinkled throughout her first poetry book, Almanac: The Four Seasons.
