The Window That Closes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780974814742)

WINNER TURTLE LIGHT PRESS 2012 HAIKU CHAPBOOK AWARD
Graham High's The Window That Closes offers a glimpse into the close relationship between a British son and his mother in her final days. Through the use of haiku, a Japanese poetry form, High masterfully etches their last days together, which are filled with both quiet and heart-rending moments. High helps us to reaffirm life through this poignant collection of poems.

"A powerful evocation of the final few weeks in the life of the author's mother. The overall sequence develops into an episodic narrative which is both a positive and a life-affirming experience for the reader. High achieves this by avoiding sentimentality and by writing from the perspective of the dispassionate observer."
