Finalist, 2020 Miller Williams Poetry Prize Inspired by Matsuo
Basho's writings and teachings on poetics and haiku, the
interrelated lyric poems in Sky of Wu investigate work and
marriage, the question of becoming a parent while watching a parent
age into dementia, and the realities of wrestling with inequality,
pollution, and habitat loss while navigating everyday life in
Oakland, California. Simultaneously, they converse with Chinese
poets from the eighth century and Japanese writers from the
eleventh and seventeenth centuries. From these disparate sources,
Halebsky weaves together small moments, stolen phrases, and images
of beauty, allowing them to reveal their own sly humor and
unvarnished truth.
