🗞️ Welcome to your #WeekendRead!⁠
⁠
In honor of #NationalPoetryMonth which starts today, check out this wonderful review of Alan Spence's new biographical novel, *Mister Timeless Blyth* — all about the #haiku scholar R.H. Blyth.⁠
⁠
From the.scotsman:⁠
⁠
🌸 "[Alan Spence's] career has been a long and interesting journey and it is now splendidly capped by this rich and wonderful novel, the ripe fruit of his immersion in Japanese culture. It is a biographical novel, the life-story of Reginal Horace Blyth, told in his own words as supplied by Spence. These words are utterly convincing. So much so that, in my ignorance, I had never heard of Blyth and had to consult the Encyclopaedia to see if he really existed."⁠
