In this collection of 20 haiku, Ben Moeller-Gaa takes us on a cyclical journey through what initially appears to be a typical Midwestern year. He notes the changing of the seasons and the effect those seasons have on human activity: snow to be shoveled, seeds to be planted, blooms to be weeded, fallen leaves to be raked. Ben's haiku capture these everyday things, but with twists that reveal how the seemingly-everyday can send life spiraling forward through the circle of time. Wasp Shadows is a subtle thrill... Ben's] word choice is as careful as the brushstrokes of the accompanying calligraphy. I happily recommend this chapbook to any poet or to any observer of the natural world. -Allison Cundiff, poet and author of IN SHORT, A MEMORY OF THE OTHER ON A GOOD DAY (Golden Antelope Press 2014)
