Dear friends and fellow poets,
I am very proud to announce the publication of How to Paint the Finch’s Song, my second full-length collection of haiku and senryu.
80 pages; perfect-bound. Published by Red Moon Press.
Commentary from the late Peggy Willis Lyles and Allan Burns:
“Carolyn Hall’s down-to-earth haiku are rooted in a life keenly lived and meticulously examined. She takes her experiences just seriously enough, revealing exactly what readers must know to share her wisdom and appreciation.”
Peggy Willis Lyles
Formerly Associate Editor, The Heron’s Nest
“Nature, relationships, and art figure among key themes in Carolyn Hall’s second full-length collection, which builds on the considerable achievement of her first. Hall excels at addressing each of these themes in isolation and at skillfully relating them together:
Mother’s Day
the commotion in the tree
becomes a heron
The intriguing title haiku provides another example with its kôan-like paradox; at the same time, it positions her work within a synesthetic haiku tradition dating back to Bashô’s wild duck with its faintly white call. Blending modern and traditional elements, Hall’s haiku range in subject matter and tonality from a candlelight dinner and a family tree to a military crackdown and a seal’s missing eyes. By virtue of her versatility and deft touch, Hall stands among the most notable contemporary haiku poets in English.”

Thanks, and all best wishes,
