Across the Editor's Desk Butterfly on the Shoulder Metulj na Rami by Alenka Zorman
This is a delightful collection in pocket-sized format, of some ninety haiku by Slovenia's leading haikuist. There is no unevenness here — every verse merits careful reading, and the translation is outstanding.
shot a bird's wing and the azure blooded	ptičjo perut in sinjino okrvavi strel
winter morning the antenna catches magpies' cawing	zimsko jutro antena je ujela krike srak
path in snow the pregnant woman's belly a step ahead	gaz v snegu trebuh nosečnice korak pred njo
evening Angelus bells the sky and the sea metallic blue	večerni zvon nebo in morje kovinsko modra
