About the Book (Excerpts & Info)

One won't find them sectioned-off into seasonal groupings nor partitioned into various elements-of-kind, such as metals or stone or wood or fire etc. However mysteriously presented, they are, nevertheless, small epiphanies that seem to come and go (apparently from nowhere.) Disturbingly soothing or soothingly disturbing, as if by magic, each "now-moment" will ostensibly materialize in a sudden burst of understanding... and just as mysteriously softly disappear... all in a sort of musical ebb-and-flow of “emotional” rhythms. To the point and simultaneously indirect; curiously multi-layered, like life, they invite ambiguity. They are haiku.

Read this book at a single sitting or (and) take a lifetime of picking roundabouts (indiscriminately-at-random) among the sundry bits-and-pieces leisurely resting at-large throughout (one page; one haiku) In each of these little "snippets-of-truth" there is a life-song hauntingly calling to be heard (again). Reconnect with the lost refrains of one's own 'circus-hypnotica' and 'trivia-mystique'. Witness anew the all-absorbing allure of something unexpectedly authentic. Breathe. Visit and revisit any of 371 surprisingly familiar and enigmatically commonplace experiences... always open to old discoveries and new explorations.

Each poem is a pebble plop't into the still pond of the reader's memory... embrace the event, as truly one'sown, and just as suddenly one is swooped-up… refreshingly freed to follow, and more fully consider, wherever the ripples might carry -

Deftly constructed at 404 pages, wind in the pages: haiku is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Poetry category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, wind in the pages meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $25.95 and $37.95, respectively.
