Whispers from the Teahouse

About the Book

This collection of a thousand haiku entitled Whispers from the Teahouse is an exploration of physical nature and human nature, past and present, as experiences unfold in our lives. The haikus are an attempt to make sense of these everyday experiences and preserve those moments that relate to the sea, sky, mountain, and forest in the Pacific Northwest.
