HQ Quarterly, a publication in Great Britain: “…forty-five haiku embedded — organically merged within — a collection of brightly-coloured, and dynamically expressed, etchings and collages. The printing — on thick pearl-white paper — is sumptuous. This book radiates quality in all its aspects”

Frogpond, the publication of The Haiku Society of America: “The artistry is impeccable, alive on the page, multidimensional, with fine attention to every imaginable detail.”

Stephen Addiss, PhD, author of several books on haiga: “When I think of haiga books in English, this is really far beyond most of them, in terms of production and quality and even in Japan where there are some beautiful haiga books, this stands up very well.”

Roberta Waddell, Retired Curator of Prints at the New York Public Library: “Your book arrived yesterday — and what a glorious publication it is! I marvel at how intensely you are aware of the world — the everyday — around you. You see and focus on the magic and beauty of simple moments and sights, and capture them in spare words and glowing, quietly uplifting images. Double-page after double-page, I read, study, and then experience a feeling of intense recognition — though I could no more conjure up that feeling in words and images, as you have done, than I could fly. But you do soar, and take me with you.”
