by Barbara Buck, poetry & Janna Blok, photographs

A native of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Barbara Buck has previously published three books of classical haiku (bamboo autumn, heart of pine, and sun moon sky). In this book, she stretches into a contemporary form of haiku as an accompaniment to the photographs of Janna Blok.

Janna Blok has been making art and teaching for over forty years. She started out as a professional potter and then evolved into a glass artist. Photography was always part of her life by taking pictures of her own work. Later on, working and traveling in different countries, she began taking pictures wherever she found the inspiration, using the light or an intriguing scene. That is how the pictures in this book came to life.
