ankh_hplSince the Southwest is one of my favorite places in the U.S. to vacation -- and since I don't get to do that until September -- I was delighted to find that this week's Montage from The Haiku Foundation is entitled The Adobe Wall.
It features two American haiku poets from New Mexico (Elizabeth Searle Lamb and Marian Olson) plus one from Arizona (Edith Bartholomeusz), and offers the usual twenty-one excellent haiku . . . with a flavor which makes me want a carne adovada burrito from Maria's New Mexican Kitchen in Santa Fe right now.
Montage's editor Allan Burns has suggested that readers approach this batch of haiku horizontally -- read one haiku per poet, left to right, then go on to the next row -- and I found that it worked very well.
