In this second collection of poetry William Winslow distills often overlooked moments in life into the 17 syllables of traditional Hailu. Many of his observations are traditional as well - addressing the seasons and the daily encounters with the natural world which we frequently fail to acknowledge.

Those who seek out poetry in all its varied forms and those who appreciate all things Japanese will enjoy this collection - especially so if they also have a fondness for dogs or the mountains of western North Carolina.
