Redbird tree James L Dildine

From the author of The Cry of Cicadas and Firehorse: twenty-six short stories, comes a book of haiku: Redbird Tree: One Thousand Haiku. The haiku herein is best described as everyday-verse, which is informal and directed toward readers who enjoy simple phrasing and easy to read and understand text. It informs, without being cryptic, taking the advice of haiku master Basho who recommended that his students become the object of the haiku, thereby letting the verse write itself.
