Kaua'i in Haiku: An Anthology
My work is featured in this book for sale.
The essence of an island — in one or two breath poems — Kaua'i in Haiku presents a story of the garden isle's volcanic formation, its natural tropical beauty, and its unique way of life. Several voices with intimate knowledge of Kaua'i express imaginings, reflections, humorous anecdotes, and daily happenings that visitors and inhabitants will recognize and possibly relate to while they read Kaua'i in Haiku.
