Product Description

Seven friends made a pact to write haikus every day for a year as a way to keep in touch with each other. The finished product is The Haiku Year, a document of a year's worth of moments filled with joy, sorrow and unexpected beauty. The book creates the sense that present moments do not just disappear and provides a visceral understanding of how these moments fit into the context of the rest of our lives. Stipe's Southern, twilight drenched lyrics from early REM albums is present. Martin's sparse yet descriptive prose gleams, while Phillips's simplest of words evokes an instance.

with just my finger,
i wrote of our love
in the snow

In the grip truck
I chew vitamin C
with the camera girl

Bright sun
through filthy windows
Shiny winter gloom

the drowned deer
wrecked on shore,her dark heart
glistens
