In 1999, Haiku Society of America co-founder Leroy Kanterman released an anthology of scarecrow-themed haiku and senryu. More than twenty years later and half a world away, Adjei Adyei-Baah demonstrates that these archetypal figures have lost none of their power to evoke a full range of human emotions, from pity to derision and from familiarity to wonder.

Scaring Crow, by Adjei Agyei-Baah is a collection of 102 haiku about scarecrows, which work together like a quantum leap in space, time, and imagination. It offers a tour as if in a scarecrow museum with the display of vivid images that pluck the visual chord of nature and human nature.
