A field of cotton—
as if the moon
had flowered.
-Basho
(translated by Robert Hass)
August 23 to August 27 is the micro-season of “The Cotton Lint Opens”. This is the first micro-season of the season of Limit of Heat. All the micro-seasons in Limit of Heat.are:
The Cotton Lint Opens (Aug 23-Aug 27)
Earth and Sky Begin to Cool (Aug 28- Sep 1)
The Rice Ripens (Sep 2 - Sep 6)
In our latest post, we celebrate this season by learning about the cotton plant and then reading haiku by Reichhold, Basho, Issa, Buson, and Wright.
