I’d missed this review over at Debby’s and couldn’t agree more with her praise for the book. Clear, complete, and full of beautiful examples of syllabic poetry forms in action. Congrats, Colleen.

  Thanks, Diana. You’re lovely comment gave me a huge smile. I hope everyone tries crafting syllabic poetry at least once or twice. It’s so fun to write, it’s addictive! LOL! ❤

    It’s terribly addictive! I don’t think there’s a cure either. Lol. It just becomes a life long habit.

Congratulations on the review, Colleen! I’m about halfway through the book, and I’m finding the comprehensive discussion of haiku in particular fascinating.

  Oh… thank you! I want to write a book just about haiku and senryu and dive into what Basho and the others did with the form. There’s also a spiritual connection to these Japanese forms that is worth exploring. ❤
