LaNana Creek Haiku: poems & photographs

In LaNana Creek Haiku, poet and neuroscientist Judith Lauter offers a photographic and poetic account of life along a forest creek that flows through the Deep-East Texas Pineywoods in and around Nacogdoches TX. The forest is a place of extreme quiet and intensely private moments – of slow-moving water and towering pines, of filtered light and flowing, humid Gulf air. We might expect the poetry that grows from such a setting to evoke a sense of peace and serenity – and the haiku paired with artful color photographs in this book do just that. A set of informative end-notes complements the poems and photographs with factual details about the creek and the unique natural areas through which it runs.
