Indeed, travelling to Greece was pivotal for the process of comparing a palm tree to a 'giant claw' that seemed to gnaw at the seams of my collar. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike my first collection, this one challenges my initial haiku forms: for example, the build-up of images toward a red bough makes up of five lines in total. Three wouldn't have worked. As for the moon, I seem to have taken it from poet Richard Adlington - by whom I was inspired - as I appear eager to create something so absurd out of it in the verse. Most of my poems always tell of the moon. Imagist poets, or specifically F.S. Flint, argued that they 'never' tried to invent the moon. I, on the other hand, love the idea of 'inventing' it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI explored themes of nature, love, loss, death and desire. The collection begins with poems written by Elisha Singh, Megan Hall and Chanel Ricketts, giving them the opportunity to share their creativity. In addition, there are doodles of Ava's beautiful photography, on which I also wrote haiku. The collection ends with a nice little passage by Lina, who compresses the complexity of contemporary love using three lines. But enjoy it, nonetheless! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kane Benjamin Crookes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1836152175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836152170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grosvenor House Publishing Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.35d","brand":"Kane Benjamin Crookes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440049795327,"sku":"9781836152170","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_794a43a4-5851-48ba-b2c3-c449ed3f0af7.jpg?v=1777180198","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/piano-keys-out-of-breath-kane-benjamin-crookes-9781836152170","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
