About the Book:
Port
Light: A Hay(na)ku Collection brings together
hay(na)kus that have been written over a number of years. The pieces vary greatly in terms of content
from the personal lyric to poems that push at language’s communicative
limits. The occasions of the poems are
also diverse. “Through Having Been” was
written as a reaction to storm devastation in Haiti, but many of the poems are
daily poems responding to family or friends. William Allegrezza has written in the hay(na)ku format for almost ten years, but
Port Light is his first book to
collect and attempt to show a similarity between the pieces.
