NOTE DE L'ÉDITEUR : This small book by Vineyard poet and performance artist Judyie Al-Bilali received its debut reading at Wintertide Coffeehouse during African-American History Month.

The twelve haiku — one for each month of the year — are an exuberant celebration of the seasons. They are so filled with light that we were inspired to design sunny-golden hand-marbled endpapers and pastepaper wrappers for the softbound cover.
