{"product_id":"travels-with-myself-joachim-matschoss-9781643244013","title":"Travels with Myself: Haiku from the Road","description":"The haiku that punctuate Joachim Matschoss' travels work as luminous mile-markers, cryptic road signs and legends on maps that trail off into myth and legend. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMatschoss understands that the language of intimacy between humans extends to interactions with landscape, history, animals and weather. These haiku find the sum of their many parts in a palpable immediacy and longing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e-Anthony Lawrence \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMatschoss devotes himself to an ancient art form that captures the moment before it escapes, and he does it with humour, insight, whimsy, a keen ear, and a sharp eye. In publishing so many haiku, he shares his unique take on the world. Reading them, you may be inspired to create and share yours. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e-Arnold Zable \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTravels with Myself is a perfect title for this brilliant Haiku collection by theatre-maker, poet and playwright, Joachim Matschoss. A busy life is hauled back again and again to quiet moments - to pictures in rich words. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -Irish poet, Terry McDonagh \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat is never lost in Travels with Myself is the primacy of experience and the direct way of finding its expression. These haiku are clear-eyed, meditative and full of surprises. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e-Frank Rullow \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is a phantasmagoria of words beautifully crafted to engage the senses of the reader. As one turns each page, words fall into place, and the journey begins through the neon-lit streets of the poet's mind. He entices us into his reality festooned with irony, futility and an acceptance of life with all its surprises. Truly a travel book for those that rarely leave or have never left home even when they travel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e-Mark Ulyseas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joachim Matschoss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1643244019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643244013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Notion Press, Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.34d","brand":"Joachim Matschoss","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48873498968319,"sku":"9781643244013","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/travels-with-myself-joachim-matschoss-9781643244013","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
