You think you know haiku? Think again, friend. One by one, these mutant three-line creatures will take, as Emily Dickinson famously said of poetry, \"the top of your head off.\" I've always been amazed at how Laura Martin's poems make me laugh and think at the same time. She cracks you up, and then she brings you right back to earth.

The queen of zombie haiku, Martin's \u003cem\u003eHaiku for the Undead\u003c\/em\u003e is a delight, starting with simple poems in the classic form, then widening into longer pieces of chained haiku-many humorous, some reflecting on life in the suburbs, politics, menopause and the pandemic. Perhaps most delightful are the long titles that precede the tightly composed poetic gems, each one meant to be read aloud, tasted, chuckled over and savored.\"\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Jan Haag, editor Amherst Writers \u0026amp; Artists Press\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"After reading Laura Marin's \u003cem\u003eHaiku for the Undead\u003c\/em\u003e, I'm still not sure I believe in Zombies, but maybe I do. Martin talks about them in such a sweet way they have to be real. She made me smile, think about things, wonder how many pieces I'm made of, and where they came from. Martin hides no hearts; she simply teases the reader of all we should know. She'll leave you feeling warm, understood, and glad you spent some time with her-I do.\"\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Bill Gainer, author of\u003cem\u003e A True Story (Used Poems, 2003 - 2021)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 82\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 18, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47353985007865,"sku":"9781958182192","price":18.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/6jidmD-rGN9781958182192.webp?v=1769828917","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/haiku-for-the-undead-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
