Lifting the Sky: Southwestern Haiku and Haiga (Paperback)


Poetry. Foreword by Penny Harter. LIFTING THE SKY is the first in a new series from Dos Gatos Press: Poetry of the American Southwest. A perfect marriage of form--haiku--and subject--the limitless inspirations of the American Southwest--LIFTING THE SKY is essential reading for haiku and poetry lovers everywhere. With thirty-three stunning haiga, this collection is also a treat for the eye. Penny Harter, co-author of The Haiku Handbook (25th Anniversary Edition, 2010), contributed the foreword. "Here," Harter says, "we enter haiku and haiga that take us through the beauties of the landscape--from desert and mountains to the sea; poems that express the poets' political, spiritual, mythical, cultural, and deeply personal connections to the Southwest; poems that make us laugh or cry; and poems drenched in light that repeatedly carry us from the Earth into the stars and galaxies. As does the landscape, these poems lift us out of ourselves."
