Martin Shea is a name many people have encountered only in the haiku anthologies, but this new selection of his work, waking on the bridge, will introduce him to an entirely new generation of haiku poets. Shea is a technical innovator, and his distinctive voice is discernable throughout. As Philip Rowland, Founding Editor of NOON: The Journal of the Short Poem, says, ". . . a beautiful collection, wistful, almost dream-like at times, and not without haiku humour. The section breaks pace the collection, while each section is short enough to keep the key-note in mind. Wonder's not an easy thing to do these 'late' days of (first-phase?) English-language haiku, but Shea brings it off. And those classics really hold up."
