An Apocalypse of Haiku, by Judy Kamilhor

SOLD OUT! Check back for my new chapbook, Cats Dream, due in 2007....

The price includes postage, and I will be happy to sign your copy if you would like. You never know . . . .

This will be a limited run of 50 copies, all made in my home office on recycled paper and non-recycled ink.

"Thanks for your haiku collection. Book ordering has been one of my little passions for years. This book order, however, is something special. I’ve enjoyed waiting for the book to arrive, as usual, my expectations building up daily, but, now that I have it, I’m even happier. Its small size (I’ve always loved this), simple design hiding a richness of small detail and visual poetry, a very limited number of haiku (one can really focus on each one individually), their urban yet universal content, the humour lingering somewhere in the background, and much more, I just love it. It also makes me think about haiku book design in general. Congratulations. Let me end by your rhetorical question, ‘what’s for dinner’. What comes to my mind are the words of Saadi of Shiraz, a classical Persian poet: ‘The lion does not eat the dog’s leavings though he die of hunger in his lair.’"
