I can't wait to read this. <br /><br />Once again, Sylvia, you've done a brilliant job matching poets too. Loved Helen Frost's Diamond Willow, and who better to understand the complexities of a verse novel driven by form.

I was a young adult in that time, a painful few years within families and in our country. Thanks Sylvia for bringing this book (out soon!) to us.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-8784384330072829742014-10-03T11:03:23.508-05:002014-10-03T11:03:23.508-05:00I read novel in verse told in haiku and was all ex...I read novel in verse told in haiku and was all excited. Then I read the excerpt and realized that it's haiku stanzas, not individual haiku (or really senryu) and was disappointed. But then I read the entire interview and I'm back to all excited! Thank you, Helen, Chris, and Sylvia. I'm adding this to my TBR list right now!laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-66889271276545648062014-10-03T10:07:19.194-05:002014-10-03T10:07:19.194-05:00This sounds like an amazing book and it was intere...This sounds like an amazing book and it was interesting hearing how it came about.

Thanks, Helen, Chris, and Sylvia :).<br /><br />It's pretty amazing writing an entire novel in haiku form, and the total syllable count as a tribute to those who died in 1968 is beyond cool. jamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859083373087448194noreply@blogger.com
