About this listen

These 20 haikus are similar to Maggie Hess' popular other book of haiku, Breath of a Heron. The three self-portraits are studied within the haiku writing, too, as well as being evocative stand-alone artwork.

Maggie Hess is known for writing simple, traditional-seeming, whimsical, nature-oriented haikus, keeping her language sparse within the confines of the poems, which adds something special.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I enjoyed listening to this poem and loved the reading voice. I listened to this during my breakfast for a change (usually I listen to audio book at night) Loved it.

Nice poem and lovely reading voice
