New titles

Roberta Beary’s debut collection, The Unworn Necklace, drew universal praise from leading figures in the worldwide haiku community when it was published in 2007. The following year it received a Merit Book Award from the Haiku Society of America and was a finalist in the Poetry Society of America’s William Carlos Williams Award – the first book of haiku to receive such recognition.

The collection quickly sold out of its print runs in paperback and is now available in a special hardback edition.

Forthcoming titles

Several new titles and projects are planned for 2012 and 2013. These will be announced shortly.
