Press Release Summary = Bird Haiku, a new book by Edward Weiss, marries the elegance
of the Japanese poetry form with the beauty of the avian world.

Press Release Body = San Diego, CA: A new book, by Edward Weiss, is all grace. 'Bird
Haiku' celebrates the beauty of poetry as much as it does the beauty of the world of
birds.

"It is remarkable how suited the haiku - a short, beautiful art form - seems to
describe birds," says Edward Weiss of Wisteria Press. "In 'Bird Haiku,' I have
brought together my love for birds with my love for haiku poetry."

The beauty and simplicity of the haiku - a three-line, syllable-driven Japanese poem
format - make for poignant, beautiful descriptions of our feathered friends. For
example, Weiss writes:

"Ducks skitter
Across the lake.
Winter light"

Weiss, who blogs on haiku and uploads regular haiku podcasts, is a master of the
form, stripping it of artifice and reveling in the sheer grace of the poetry. He is
the author of earlier books like "Seashore Haiku," and his "Haiku for Gardeners"
will be released in December.

Readers can buy "Bird Haiku" online on the web site of Wisteria Press (available at
http://www.wisteriapress.com) for just $11.95, and have it shipped free of charge
anywhere in the United States. For a limited time, personally autographed copies are
available for sale, and readers can use a generous guarantee to return the book in
90 days if they are not satisfied with their purchase.

"The book has received some great feedback, I'm happy to announce," says Weiss.
"We're very excited about our process of sharing our enthusiasm with our readers,
and we look forward to sending you a copy of 'Bird Haiku.'"
