One Breath
Haiku and Senryu by Ben Gaa, Spartan Press 2020 ISBN-10: 1952411211, ISBN-13: 978-1952411212 (2020)
"Having delighted us with the award-winning Wishbones, Ben Gaa continues to deliver exquisitely crafted haiku and senryu in One Breath. Gaa is a modern Midwestern flâneur, who is as likely to find an epiphany while drinking coffee or beer as while observing a sunset or a snowflake. Like the Japanese masters, he values the suchness of each experience, and merges humour and karumi with deep reflections on love and life which are wise but never didactic. His alert engagement of all five senses, combined with his expert writing and editing skills, results in work which is evocative, moving and inspirational."
Maeve O'Sullivan, haijin and poet who's fifth collection is forthcoming from Alba Publishing.
Mike Rehling reviews One Breath at the senryu journal Failed Haiku.

Haiku and Senryu by Ben Moeller-Gaa, calligraphy by JS Graustein, Folded Word 2018 ISBN 978-1-61019-243-9, ISBN-10 1610191161, ISBN-13 978-1610191166 (2018)
This collection of haiku and senryu explores the synapse between a moment’s initiation and its resolution. Moeller-Gaa shows us what’s possible in this unguarded space through evocative word choice and masterful turns, often with a touch of humor. Frogs and thistle, voyeurs and valentines, strip mines and singing bottles — learn how wishes are spun from the simplest bones.
"This is an outstanding collection, especially because the author engages in deep thinking, close wondering, and caring about feelings. Like most of our best writers, he takes the time to notice significance in his life and capture that significance in the literary art of haiku." ~ Randy Brooks, Frogpond 42:1 (2019)
“Moeller-Gaa writes with enviable command of the poetic possibilities inherent in haiku, playing with unexpected juxtapositions, reversals of causality, perceptual surprise, and more.” ~ Michele Root-Bernstein, Modern Haiku 50.2 (2019)

Haiku and Senryu by Ben Moeller-Gaa, edited by Sloka Shankar, Yavanika Press (2018)
"One core aspect of haiku/senryu is that they trade on a collaboration with the reader. In that aspect, the best of them have an improvisational theme that is core. In this collection, Ben Moeller-Gaa has penned his work in a way that reminds me of Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, or Muddy Waters. I was led immediately to humming my own tune to these fine poems, and subsequent readings took me in other unexpected directions. The fact that I felt like a participant in the pace and tone of the poems renders this collection FIVE STARS from me. A fun read and a great way to add smiles to your day." ~ Michael Rehling editor of Failed Haiku

Haiku by Ben Moeller-Gaa, calligraphy by JS Graustein, Folded Word, 2014 ISBN 978-1-61019-215-6 (2014)
In this Pushcart nominated collection of 20 haiku, Ben Moeller-Gaa takes us on a cyclical journey through what initially appears to be a typical Midwestern year. He notes the changing of the seasons and the effect those seasons have on human activity: snow to be shoveled, seeds to be planted, blooms to be weeded, fallen leaves to be raked. Ben’s haiku capture these everyday things, but with twists that reveal how the seemingly-everyday can send life spiraling forward through the circle of time.

Edited by Jim Kacian and Julie Warther, Red Moon Press, 2018 ISBN-10: 171861585X / ISBN-13: 978-1718615854 (2018)
With the creation of A New Resonance: Emerging Voices in English-Language Haiku, Red Moon Press hoped to create a place where haiku poets without a book of their own could present a significant body of work in a single location. Twenty years later, that community is 170 poets strong, and contains many of the most important poets writing in the genre today. echoes 2 is a compendium of these poets, including personal and professional updates and in most cases a sampling of new work. Compiled and edited by Jim Kacian and Julie Warther.

The latest book Pegasus: The Haiku Anthology includes highly appealing and attractive haiku by Albert Russo, Alan Summers, Ben Moeller-Gaa, John McDonald, Marta Knobloch and Suzie Palmer. It is good to remember that haiku was originally composed in Japan- not to write poetry but to reveal with 'full-throated ease' the feelings of Zen. The truth is that haiku expresses the world reflected in the poet's soul.
Edited by Jim Kacien and Dee Evetts, Red Moon Press, 2015 ISBN 978-1-936848-42-3 (2015)
New Resonance poets now number more than 150. They have won scads of contests, their subsequent books have been accorded the honor of serious and adulatory review and critique, and many are recognized amongst the leaders of literary haiku in their respective countries and around the world. These seventeen new members to this rather exclusive confederacy, then, have a very high standard against which to measure themselves, but equally high expectations of their ultimate position in the haiku community. This is the ninth volume in a series that has won several Haiku Society of America's Merit Book Award in its first eight appearances.
NR9 featured poets: Stewart Baker, Brad Bennett, Claire Everett, Kate S. Godsey, Cara Holman, P M F Johnson, Jonathan McKeown, Ben Moeller-Gaa, Beverly Acuff Momoi, Thomas Powell, William Sorlien, Scott Terrill, Julie Warther.
