Words From The Peaks, a collection of haiku, senryu and tanka from the years around the millennium, evokes the four cardinal directions of northeastern Arizona's landscape. The poems express the interplay of earth and sky, of shadow and light, of land and people.

The collection is predominantly contemporary haiku rooted in the tradition of Basho, Onitsura and Buson. Also included are poems that remain loosely within the genre, but experiment with idiosyncratic construction and surrealist imagery.
