Johnson has that crucial characteristic for haiku poets an ability to notice the minor miracles of ordinary existence &ndash; a blackbird bathing in a dog&rsquo;s bowl daisies ankle-deep on a lawn the reflection of a jasmine flower in a rain puddle &ndash; these are acute observations that transform everyday life into fine haiku.&nbsp; When she writes &lsquo;running along the beach the wind and I&rsquo; she invites&nbsp;us on a poetic journey where we can share her experience of Waking from Dreams.&rdquo; &ndash; Stephen Addiss author of <em>The&nbsp;Art of Haiku</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p>
