This review is from: October Sun: A Year of Haiku (Paperback)
This book won an honorable mention (one of six in no order of precedence) in the HSA Merit Book Awards for books published in 1988 (award made in 1999). That year, the top three prizes went, respectively, to Nicholas A. Virgilio's *Selected Haiku*, Rod Willmot's *Sayings for the Invisible*, and Jane Reichhold's *Tigers in a Teacup*. The award is documented in *A Haiku Path*, the history of the first 20 years of the Haiku Society of America, published by the society.

A journey of discovery and enlightenment,
By A Customer
This review is from: October Sun: A Year of Haiku (Paperback)
Living on a New England farm, poet Joseph Gustafson observes the special moments of each season that connect us with nature briefly, but also for all times. This book has a timeless quality that reminds us of the passing of time and the need to savor and save our natural environment. Implicitly, the book reminds us that our own salvation is linked with natural laws, and when we destroy nature, we destroy ourselves. Won a Merit Book Award by the Haiku Society of America in 1987, an honor well deserved. .
