Get Your Haikus Here! (en Inglés) - Bob Preece

A debut haiku collection structured across four seasons, Haiku by Bob Preece follows the classical Japanese tradition of juxtaposition and the "cut" while moving through thoroughly contemporary terrain: a beloved dog named Hunter, geopolitical dread, climate grief, houseplants treated as sacred, and the cosmos observed from a slanted house. Drawing on Bashō's principle of "lightness," the collection telescopes from the domestic to the universal and back, arriving finally at silence. 100 poems. The last page is blank.

For readers of Richard Wright's haiku, Lucille Clifton, and anyone who has watched a dog fart and felt, briefly, that everything might be okay
