Feathers in my heart, haiku poetry by Margaret Russell is a beautifully designed collection of strictly counted 5-7-5 haiku from one of our newest members.Russell delicately treats nature and its intersection with human love and longing,beginning positively-"feathers in my heart/softer than a butterfly/every time you smile"-and ending on a gentle cautionary note-"soft feathers have quills/and lovely roses are thorned/beware soft objects" haiku is always about solitude.Read these poems when you ae alone,savoring their quiet illuminations and tiny,exquisite illustrations by Sherry Gargiulo.
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
