‘field of stars’ is a new collection of haiku and senryu by Tasmanian poet Lyn Reeves. Lyn is a poet, fiction writer, editor and mentor who has guest-edited poetry for several poetry and haiku journals.

“From the very first haiku field of stars is a celebration of what the haiku master Masaoka Shiki described in the first principle of haiku as ‘Shasei’ or ‘sketching from life.’ Reeves has succeeded in finding diamonds with her finely observed and beautifully sketched moments. In a time of Global Warming and dire predictions, Reeves shows us that we can all remember what is at stake with her observations of nature and writing from the heart and a place of wonder. This is a collection to be kept close and cherished for the many celebrations of what it is to be a part of nature. I commend this to the reader and may you walk gently with Reeves in a field of stars.”
