HAIGA HONORABLE MENTION

Water and Stone: Ten Years of Art and Haiku by Annette Makino

(Makino Studios, Arcata, CA: 2021)

Perfectly painted pretty colors, poignant haiku, the best kind of storytelling haibun: this decade’s worth of the artist-poet’s work contains all the delights one could dream of from an inspiring haijin of our greater haiku family.

[EDITOR’S NOTE: A haijin is someone who writes haiku.]
