Geltner issued herself a challenge. She began writing one (or more) haiku a day. By 2017, she had written twenty-two hundred poems and published nine hundred on social media. Six were put to music by the composer David Sisco and sung by Marie Mascari at Carnegie Hall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring this process, Geltner deepened her understanding of haiku and began experimenting with the simple form. The result is a deep appreciation and celebration of the iconic Japanese format, as her new collection abundantly illustrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to her haiku, Geltner also includes longer poems about everything from salt to her own struggles as both an artist and a human being.
