Rockies Autumn Haiku: Poems & Photographs

Rockies Autumn Haiku by poet and neuroscientist Judith Lauter provides a photographic and poetic account of three fall months in several locations in the southern Rocky Mountains.When you think of the Rockies with their towering peaks immense vistas and deep snows you might think that only an epic poem could do them justice something on the scale of a Homer or Milton perhaps. The highly condensed snapshot-like haiku might be the last poetic form imaginable to capture their glory. And yet Rockies Autumn Haiku clearly proves that even the majestic Rockies can be memorably rendered in poetry of brevity wit keen observation and vivid imagery. Here is a mountain autumn then seen in unforgettable micro-scale viewed through the double prism of fresh poems and striking color photographs.
