Seasons of the Heart by Alan Spence

The follow-up collection to Glasgow Zen. Alan Spence evokes the essence of the seasons with this cycle of haiku.

“How much pure energy can be packed into a book that fits into a hand, a book so small it will slip easily into a back pocket? Seasons of the Heart, Alan Spence’s first poetry collection since Glasgow Zen, testifies in 150 haiku to the sheer potential of the small. It is a reminder of the power of simplicity … Seasons of the Heart becomes a meditative and sustained delivery of both energy and purity. Spence is a calm and necessary visionary … This is Spence in essence, all openness of instinct and imagination” – ALI SMITH
