Beak Open, Feet Relaxed - 108 Haiku (Paperback)

Beak Open, Feet Relaxed offers a poetic chronicle of one woman's journey on her way to mastering the Way of Haiku. Award-winning poet Priscilla Lignori elevates the traditional 5-7-5 form to the level of serious art, producing images that capture the essence of nature and touch the depths of the human heart. Here is the poetry of life itself, expressed in a mere handful of syllables-a collection of small, perfect miracles that only haiku can capture in words.

Winner of the 2013 Basho Award, Priscilla Lignori invites readers to join her on a path that has been lost to many modern people, following nature and returning to nature-and restoring us in the process to our deepest, truest selves.
