• “A brocade is a rich silk fabric, often Oriental, with gold and silver patterns. In this book, we are presented with a vibrant brocade of voices, haiku and senryu serving as the gold and silver. These poems spring not just from the Orient, where haiku began, but from poetry weavers across the United States and Canada, as well as other countries. And this brocade is not just a brocade of silk, but a brocade of leaves, reminding us that nature is central to haiku poetry.”
