What’s a poetry book that others may not know about but deserves a shout out?
The most exciting area of poetry for me lately has been the growth of the haibun form, and I want to highlight three books: Kat Lehmann's A Beloved Fire Becomes the House, which is about to be released from Red Moon Press; Roberta Beary's Crazy Bitches; and Lew Watts' Eira.
You have to understand haiku to fully appreciate this form—haiku are not 5-7-5 syllabic poems with a season word; that's a gross misappropriation of the Japanese tradition and mostly irrelevant to English language haiku. Real haiku are composed of "two worlds in one breath," as I like to say. It's about holding multiple complexities simultaneously in a way that make the mind leap with insight and awe. Haibun, which combine haiku with other text, can make those leaps even sharper and more transformative, and there's nothing in traditional poetry as compelling as these three books.
