"Simple Pleasures: Haiku from the Place Just Right” is an exceptional collection of fifty-three haiku poems, each thoughtfully paired with photographs that capture the scenes that inspired them. Written by Elizabeth Gauffreau, this book invites readers to appreciate the beauty of everyday moments through the lens of haiku.
This inspiring collection invites readers to savor the seasons and explore the beauty of fleeting moments. Along the way, it provides glimpses of Northern New England—the author’s home—and the emotions these landscapes evoke. While a few poems seem more like accompanying notes for photos, most are well-crafted, adhering to the form and focus of traditional haiku poetry. Among them, “rusted trestle bridge” stood out as my personal favorite.
"Simple Pleasures” is an exceptionally praiseworthy haiku collection, particularly given that it marks Elizabeth Gauffreau’s debut in haiku poetry. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and I anticipate revisiting its pages in the future. Without hesitation, I recommend it to all enthusiasts of haiku.
Many thanks to BookSirens, the publishers, and the author for providing me with the eARC of this enchanting book. I eagerly await more books from this talented author.
