This book was given to me by a dear friend of mine. So despite the somewhat low rating, I still hold this book to my heart.
I flew by it---not really ever truly being immersed in the world the authors were introducing. I preferred Reese's stuff. Marla's, I didn't dig much, but she had some good ones.
Maybe this isn't just for me. Or maybe I'm just not in the right space to absorb now. I'll reread this someday. Maybe then I'd like it.

I really liked the foreword and the idea of the book. Great Haikus. Great art. The short stories didn’t grab me.

The cover and the illustrations are stunning. I’ve only read Marla Miniano once and that was for that one poem she had on Poetry Magazine. I will say that I find her as the stronger writer (especially for her verse) in this book than Lansangan. Lansangan’s verses have a tendency to be void of punctuation—which isn’t really a bad thing, there are plenty of writers who do get away with that kind of thing—which, for some first time readers of poetry in general, kind of odd and it’s one of those things that make me feel as if I’m running out of breath. Lansangan’s prose, on the other hand, is better.
Overall it’s a decent read, one you can finish in a day.

I really like the illustrations in this book but the prose is just a so-so for me.
