'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free

'Tis the gift to come down where I ought to be . . .

~Shaker Song attributed to Joseph Brackett

Each haiku she writes is a lyrical reflection of her experiences, with some steeped in nostalgia and others freshly discovered.

Gauffreau uses the minimalist form of haiku to its best advantage to create a profound connection between nature, travel, and memory that will resonate long after you close the book.
