Year of Haiku and Other Collected Works

Written in 2012 and composed of 366 separate haiku-- one for every day of the year-- the ambitious poetry suite Year of Haiku serves as the centerpiece for the author's first anthology of shorter works, all of which were written in the period from 2005 - 2017. Also included is a second poetry suite, a set of celestial sonnets collectively titled Poesis Universalis; the James Thurber-inspired short story, The Night Colored Dog; and fourteen other poems. The included works range widely in tone and subject, from quiet, emotive freeform verses about night, to darker material about grappling with depression, mortality, and the unspeakable tragedies which have become so much a sign of these troubled times.
