I'm so glad you liked it! I'm in Afghanistan now, and I thought to myself, "Oh, I better start writing something about Afghanistan, too." I am on a military base and there is a "Spoken Word" night here, where people stand up and read poetry. I haven't been to it yet - but it sounds like a great idea.

I'm not surprised in the least. Have to say though that I still would love to see your travel memoir - either in or out of haiku form. Alison Kelly - Of course you’re talking about haiku and memoir.

It really is a fascinating read whether you are into haiku or not. Well, all the work involved in moving has gotten the better of me and I wasn't able to finish it. But once we are settled (I think soon!) this will be the first book I pick up again.

You've written an engaging summary of Abigail's book -- and a lovely invitation to read it. You might also want to read William J. Higginson's <i>The Haiku Handbook</i> (Kodansha, 1989; the best book out there that covers haiku history and provides guidance on writing haiku in English) and Cor van den Heuvel's <i>The Haiku Anthology</i> (3rd edition from Norton, 1999; the best collection out there of English-language haiku).
