High-Cooing Through the Seasons: Haiku From the Forest

Like unfurling ferns, the haiku here emerged out of the seasons, during the author’s experience living outside over the course of a year among the forests and along the rivers of Northern California. Vividly capturing unique moments of experiencing wild nature and the elements, High-Cooing is a seasonal record of being embedded in nature in the nearby faraway, seventeen syllables at a time. At times pensive, at times whimsical, the small poems included here are like little surprise packages that make you say “Oh!” and then smile with recognition.
