Returning Home

Returning Home: Haiku and Other Succinct Poems is a collection of haiku, senryu, tanka, kyoka, free verse, Fibonacci, Etheree, and other short poems that originally appeared in various periodicals and anthologies, including The Fib Review, Frogpond, Kansas English, Modern Haiku, Prune Juice, Shot Glass Journal, Taj Mahal Review, and Valley Voices. Mostly autobiographical, these poems encapsulate the awakening moments the author was fortunate to encounter as a busy scholar. Sometimes nostalgic, other times pensive, still other times humorous, this collection will appeal to anyone who yearns for an elusive past, contemplates life and death, loves nature and its creatures, and takes the daily grind in stride.
