songs of blue acorns

Building upon innovative techniques and bold exploration exhibited in last year's thrilling Where Days Begin, in Songs of Blue Acorns monoku virtuoso Peter Jastermsky cements his reputation as one of the most compelling and unique writers working in the one-line haikai tradition today. Demonstrating in lyrical flashes one might swear were rendered in neon lights, the poet navigates a breathtaking golden mean between conventional and gendai approaches to deliver provocative verseswhich will fascinate, amuse, and titillate, and are sure to ultimately please enthusiasts of experimental and classic short form poetry alike. If you admire the haiku and senryu of Jim Kacian, Alan Summers, and Cor van den Heuvel, you won't want to miss this piquant tour de force! Jerome Berglund, editor Heterodox Haiku Journal
