Gr 3-5The beauty of haiku is the poet's ability to use strong language to relay powerful images in few syllables. Lewis's choice of words here is radiant, especially with nouns used effectively as verbs. Imagery is further enhanced with words that not only sound right, but look good on the page, e.g. petalworth, saltlick, blizzard. Lewis relaxes the traditional Japanese haiku style, yet maintains the integrity and grace of the form, embracing nature in every potent line. The woodcut text adds much life to the words, tying them more softly to the full-page illustration on the opposite pages. Underscoring the strength of the selections are the stunning woodcut illustrations. In many of the pictures, a minor touch of black juxtaposes beautifully with the shapely text. Done in muted tones, they are still, picking up the subtleties of the poems. They are spare, yet there is much to see. Well-designed pages allow readers to absorb immediately both words and picture, rounding out the experience of reading haiku. Water, sky, snow, sand, and creatures from the lowly spider to the tranquil deer reside in this small, beautiful book. It's a fine example of how the delicate simplicity of poetry can conjure up unforgettable images.Sharon Korbeck, Waupaca Area Public Library, WI (c) Copyright 2010.

'The meadow reddens -- / my old black lab fills / the sky with quail.' Thirteen haiku offer the reader distilled, crystalline images of moments seldom noted in nature -- the tide's erasure of a sandpiper's tracks, the rustling of cornstalks in the cold. Woodcuts evocative of the imagery add a balanced visual harmony to the collection. An author's note discusses the birth and adaptation of haiku. From HORN BOOK 1995, (c) Copyright 2010.

Kirkus评论
Superb haiku about animals and the weather, preceded with an instructive note about the form--where it comes from, how it's defined, how to write it, how to read it. Harris (July Is a Mad Mosquito, 1994, not reviewed, etc.) makes his haiku a kind of lyrical punchline that holds readers by virtue of its melodic wistfulness as well as by virtue of its cleverness: ``Blue patches of noon--/the crows caw-cawling/on the telephone wire.'' The woodcuts are completely of a piece with the poems. Manson creates spare nature scenes--birds in the fields, clouds in the sky, images that tend toward the abstract--to be pondered along with the words. A beautiful collection to be savored by readers even as it inspires them. (Picture book/poetry. 7-9)

Ages 5^-9. With one short verse on each left-hand page and a woodcut print on the right, this attractive volume features 13 poems written in a form of haiku. Noting in his introduction that "originally, this short poem lived by strict rules" of 17 syllables, three lines, and a word indicating a season, Lewis relaxes the strictures on syllables and looks to all of nature for his subjects. Those who agree to the rule changes (and some will not) can expect to find several short poems to their liking. The woodcuts, each with at least two colors, add a distinctive touch of visual drama. A particularly beautiful print illustrates "Skeleton elms / clicking above two deer / at the saltlick . . . a crowd." Carolyn Phelan
