Hi, Curtis, Thanks for posting Terry's book. Carole MacRury mentioned it to me as a must for anyone who is teaching haiku or wants to share their love of haiku with others. I'm looking forward to reading it.

Hi, again, Curtis. Thanks for that link to Philip Levine's interview. I enjoyed it when I heard it on NPR. When I was writing Western free verse poetry I found him extremely approachable and enjoyed his books a great deal. He talks of real people in real life.
