Author Description

Any reader who has read Larry Kimmel's, "the necessary fly" or "alone tonight," will find many old friends in "Collected Haiku 1997 - 2017," though often in different format. Still, there is a goodly number of haiku that have never been collected until now. "the necessary fly," will be discontinued by the time this book is published, though "alone tonight" will remain in print, as "alone tonight" has a strong selection of tanka as well as a number of haibun besides the haiku. "Collected Haiku 1997 - 2017" represents all of the haiku that the author wishes to preserve at this time. A kind of twenty year haiku anniversary collection.
