{"product_id":"circle-9781462912155","title":"Circle","description":"David Lloyd's verses are a genuine contribution to the literature of haiku. They capture an image, a moment in time, and engrave it in the memory for all time. This is the mark of good haiku, as indeed it is of good verse in general. His haiku can excite the senses, as in:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSee the sharp needles\u003cbr\u003eforever sewing the sky\u003cbr\u003eTo the pine branches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFree of irony, except the irony of nature which sets the tone, calls the shots, with a not always recognizable impartiality, their perceptions are too clear for comment:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFlowing downstream\u003cbr\u003eBetween the mountain pines,\u003cbr\u003eA bird's embryo.\u003cbr\u003eDogwood blossoms,\u003cbr\u003eTheir edges turning brown,\u003cbr\u003eRecalling legends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePoetic magic raised to a higher power by the author's pen and ink vignettes, complementing each verse. Eye pleasing and evocative, these sketches open little doors to experience.","brand":"David Lloyd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48291855892731,"sku":"9781462912155","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_be6d111b-aa2e-46b8-9921-df9e645dc0e0.jpg?v=1779190952","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/circle-9781462912155","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
