Teets has a grisly view of the near-present, a hard view of the past, and somehow finds grit enough to endure. A Michigan poet, Teets offers verse allusiive and elusive, definitely to be read for tone as much as message.

I found this gorgeous haiku chapbook, Where Waves Were... in the family library. (C) Robert F. Mainone, 1966, Kalamazoo, Michigan. This book was written on the author's hikes along the shores of Lake Michigan. I'm sure it's out of print; as it is copyrighted, I'll only post a couple excerpts. The staples that bind this chapbook are somewhat rusty, but the book is a beauty, some 56 years after publication. The interspersed artwork (I think on rice paper) is also wonderful. Mainone was a noted poet in his native Michigan; learn more about him at https://livinghaikuanthology.com/index-of-poets/livinglegacies/2661-robert-f-mainone.html

The Living Haiku Anthology - Mainone, Robert F.

Strands of the original haiku DNA have been cross-bred into many other cultures, spiritualities and languages since the Meiji Restoration in Japan. The Living Haiku Anthology is designed to reflect that.
