![]() ![]() Every other paragraph has a quotable line or two, this one is my favorite: Keyed up as we are by the incessant din of causes, we have lost composure and the ability to think our own thoughts. I absolutely love it! Behn came from another time-a time when poets and poetry still had a presence in American life. It is a series of short essays on Behn's life, children, and poetry. Only one library in NH still had it listed in our state system! I received the book last week and started right in on it. It sounded interesting, so I put in an interlibrary loan request for it since it is out of print (published in 1968). In my search I found mention of another Behn title, Chrysalis: Concerning Children and Poetry. I thought about the book the other day and went looking for it again. Many years ago when I first became interested in haiku, I came across a book by Harry Behn called Cricket Songs: Japanese Haiku. ![]()
