Cloudbreak: Haiku and Senryu, 1987-2018 by Carrie Etter

Cloudbreak: Haiku and Senryu, 1987-2018 brings together over thirty years of Carrie Etter's haiku and senryu originally published in journals and anthologies in the US, the UK, and Japan. She has published five collections of poetry as well as many short stories, essays, and reviews, and is a member of the Creative Writing faculty at the University of Bristol. "The haiku and senryu in Cloudbreak take hold and convey us ineluctably into their haunting spaces of deep longing and loss. The music is beautifully understated, the stories quietly compelling, the imagery unspeakably tender. Only Carrie Etter could have written these poems.' Ian Seed
