WINNER TURTLE LIGHT PRESS 2012 HAIKU CHAPBOOK AWARD
Graham High's The Window That Closes offers a glimpse into the close relationship between a British son and his mother in her final days. Through the use of haiku, a Japanese poetry form, High masterfully etches their last days together, which are filled with both quiet and heart-rending moments. High helps us to reaffirm life through this poignant collection of poems. A powerful evocation of the final few weeks in the life of the author's mother. The overall sequence develops into an episodic narrative which is both a positive and a life-affirming experience for the reader. High achieves this by avoiding sentimentality and by writing from the perspective of the dispassionate observer.
