Each of the haiku arises from identity with a location or circumstance which resonates emotionally with the reader through recall of parallel experiences. "Place" is explored through life in Duluth, Minnesota, a narrow strip of city cladding the hill between the southern edge of boreal forest and the northern shore of Lake Superior's western end. It is evoked as well in haiku from a lake cabin in Wisconsin's north woods, where the loudest sound at night may be the lonely yodel of a loon. "Place" is the root of haiku located in hospital work, in travel, even the "place" of being a grandparent. It becomes the framework for haiku celebrating the community and geography of South Carolina's lowcountry. Nearly two hundred haiku are presented in sections headed by original illustrations inspired by one of the haiku in that section. The sequenced rhythm of two to four haiku per page draws the reader into a tapestry created by the poems in each section.
