“Zombies don’t do five-seven-five (so many fingers missing)! This fun book of masterfully written one-gasp poetry proves that the force and beauty of haiku–even those about a walking dead apocalypse–have nothing to do with syllable counting. Your flesh will crawl–but, hopefully, won’t crawl away!” — David G. Lanoue, President of the Haiku Society of America from Goodreads
Joshua, who has strong thoughts on the availability of quality coffee at the workplace, proves that you can excite non-poetry reading zombie avoider about the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse. Josh, who I may start calling haiku extraordinaire when I see him at the library, sent me my first chapbook and it was so much fun. It is a perfect fit for sitting on the deck with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee and enjoying the story that unfolds in a series of 91 haiku poems. It was creative and visceral from beginning to tragic end. I loved it.
Sounds fun! Did Gage like it too?
I’m not sure he’d get it, lots of words he wouldn’t know. I could read parts of it though to give him a taste.
