Missed Appointment is a great collection, and that loon haiku is one of my favorite. It’s the first book by Gary that I read, and I liked it so much I bought Footprints & Fingerprints, Breathmarks, and another chapbook that I just ordered last week but can’t remember the name.
The honorable mention is awesome, but I think Missed Appointment could’ve won 1st place in the contest if it had a picture of a smiling chimp on the cover.
