Whether his subjects are external or internal, wild or domestic, he shows us perspectives that never disappoint. In addition, these poems are paced by the Carolingian hand of JS Graustein so that readers may savor each one.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"...this haiku moves from the physical connection of splitting a wishbone to the more symbolic expression. It invokes this childish ritual with the deeper realizations about serious wishes and differences. The haiku in Moeller-Gaa's book continually play with ordinary events and their mystical underlying significance... This is an outstanding collection of haiku because the author engages in deep thinking, close wondering, and heartfelt caring. Like most of our best writers, Ben Moeller-Gaa takes the time to notice significance in life and captures that significance in the literary art of haiku."</p><p> <em>Troutswirl: The Haiku Foundation Blog</em></p><p><br /> "...Ben Moeller-Gaa, like the wind, silently shuffles the reader, down the street and back again, showing us how to feel each and every bump of the blackberry we might find along the way..."</p><p> Robin White, editor of <em>Akitsu Quarterly</em></p><p> </p><p>"Ben Moeller-Gaa's Wishbones, winner of a Touchstone Distinguished Book Award, is justly praised. The poet has juxtaposed vivid imagery and done something special to record the music inherent in the English language upon every page. Seasonal sequencing is forgone for a pairing of haiku with similar emotional and psychological qualities side by side, and the adjacent mood of the poems pace the collection through its own seasons. The range of content will delight everyone in its deep appreciation of ancestry, love, and nature. JS Graustein's calligraphy adds a sophisticated and playful touch to the poems rendered in a distinctly modern style which Moeller-Gaa was instrumental in helping refine. This is a superb book from one of haiku's leading writers."</p><p> Tom Sacramona, haiku poet and reviewer<em>, TomSacramona.wordpress.com</em></p><br>
