"Practice Restraint" by Laura Sims.
"...is an anthology of sparcely worded free-verse poems steeped in the author's queintessential talent to imply volumes from brief phrases. Touching upon complex situations through the minute illumination of instants, "Practice Restraint" resembles a hakiu collection in spirit, though it does not employ the haiku format specifically."
It seems to me that whether we like a more horizontal poetry, more full-bodied and longer lines, more traditional like, or a more vertical poetry, shot-lined, sparcely written, new age or post modern, there is something to be said all round for the practice of restraint.
Odd as it may seem, even the ports who write sparcely may need tp practice restraint even more.
I think this restraint may have to do with things other than just words as well.
I think you might enjoy this book by Laura Sims whatever style you write in.
