This is especially true of her haiku: delicious amuse-bouches that linger on the tongue and longer in the mind. Her sense of humor, vulnerability, and wiry wit seem to effortlessly flow in this substantive collection.\u003c\/i\u003e-David Sisco, composer and author of \u003ci\u003eMastering College Musical Theatre Auditions\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the fall of 2012, poet Danita S. Geltner issued herself a challenge. She began writing one (or more) haiku a day. By 2017, she had written twenty-two hundred poems and published nine hundred on social media. Six were put to music by the composer David Sisco and sung by Marie Mascari at Carnegie Hall.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDuring this process, Geltner deepened her understanding of haiku and began experimenting with the simple form. The result is a deep appreciation and celebration of the iconic Japanese format, as her new collection abundantly illustrates.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition to her haiku, Geltner also includes longer poems about everything from salt to her own struggles as both an artist and a human being. From short, sharp moments to poignant musings, Geltner's work will find its mark with her readers and create an undeniable, electric connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Danita S.
