Review by Jared Pearce
I’m not sure if St. Claire’s a Counting Crows fan or not, but this is how I’m reading the poem, and, as such, the poem comes off as a sort of growing-up in the time of pop-music anthem.
Review by Carla Schwartz
I love the pithiness of this haibun, especially the haiku at the end.
