Rough Cut: Thirty Years of Senryu (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781732752719)

Rough Cut is the second book in the legacy series and it consists of senryu written over the last thirty years. The first book in the series Mixed Bag: A Travelogue in Four Forms, focused on haiku sequences, haibun, tanka and short free verse poems. Those poems were essentially inspired by places where I lived, worked and traveled. The poems in this edition exclusively focus on human relationships and interaction. They are informed by nature as are haiku but the basis for their existence explores how we humans perceive who and what we are at our best or occasionally at our worst. The title is meant to suggest that as human beings we are not perfect but works in progress, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. My hope is that you may recognize your own dramatis personae among the senryu you find here or that you may connect with those you have touched or been touched by on this life's journey.
