Description
Rebecca Lilly’s several previous volumes have explored her immediate environs, and the circumstances of coming to (meta-)physical as well as geographical terms in these places. Evergreen Moon takes this a step farther, serving as a contemplation of the poet’s ancestral home, at the time of her imminent departure from it. For it she devises an innovative style, pairing a traditional haiku with a freer poem that is the figure to the haiku’s ground. The result is quite unlike anything else you will have read. This is a move you will want to make with her.
