Black Mountain Haiku by Lev Hart

“Black Mountain Haiku sets a new standard for excellence in the realm of concrete poetry. This small collection by Lev Hart accomplishes the difficult task of balancing poetic content and form in a way that feels natural and effortless, proving that sometimes the best things come in small packages.”

— Bryan Rickert, Editor of Failed Haiku
