Toews, Miriam. A Truce That is Not Peace. New York: Bloomsbury, 2025.
Miriam Toews’s new memoir was just released in the U.S., and I ordered it immediately.
Yasuda, Kenneth. A Pepper-Pod: Classic Japanese Poems Together with Original Haiku. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1947.
This book is a classic of early English-language haiku–the section of Yasuda’s own poems that follow his translations are some of the first haiku written in English–and I was able to find a first edition in pretty good shape for only $25.00.
