Description:

Vera Constantineau, three lines at a time is a selection of haiku, senryu, & small poems

Book Review — David Bingham

“I love ‘three lines at a time’! You use the haiku form brilliantly. Your haiku are ‘in the moment’; but within each one there is a story. You use ‘kireji’ to great effect, sometimes leading the reader to a meaningful sense of ironic humour and at other times to a sense of sadness, part of the universal human condition. You evoke rather than tell … just as it should be! The tone is just right … very Japanese. Wow, what a superb collection! Love it!”

David Bingham — Former editor of Blithe Spirit Magazine UK
