Step into Sky: English language haiku by a Missouri poet

By John Sandbach

In this book the author has written haiku about woods, clouds, rivers, crows, the moon, rain, and crystals in Missouri where he lives. His poems bring a new and unique feeling to the haiku form.The uniqueness of his haiku is believed to come from the land and the weather. He says, "Missouri is on the edge of several different climate zones, so the weather here is very unpredictable and hence always changing and quite interesting. In the south of Missouri are the Ozark Mountains, which are so very ancient that they are only hills today, and covered with forests."(This book is edited and produced by Web Press Happa-no-Kofu, non-profit translation project and literary and art publisher since 2000, based in Japan.)
