“Poet Peggy Heinrich is an insightful and empathetic companion as she invites the reader to travel with her through the seasons of haiku.…Peeling an Orange is like an enso, offering the reader a complete journey from the ripples in a spring pond to deep winter’s ‘widening circle/of silence’.”—Pamela Miller Ness, Past President, Haiku Society of America.
“The poems in Peeling An Orange can only be written by a master poet and Peggy Heinrich is one. This book captivates the reader with its haiku & senryu, and just when you think that it can't get any better, it does.…this book is a keeper and it is wonderful to have a collection of such work in a single volume.”—Stanford M. Forrester, editor of bottle rockets: a collection of short verse.
