Out of Winter - a booklet of haiku
£15
Épuisé
33 haiku with illustrations.
This little concertina booklet collects 33 illustrated haiku that I made as part of a daily walking and writing practice during the pandemic. All of the creative work was done on the spot, and in the moment. Much later, my brilliant mate Michael Gough turned them into this beautiful booklet.
I like to think that all the haiku are very different. But as the poet Billy Collins says, “Almost every haiku says the same thing: it’s amazing to be alive here.” And while I'm quoting poets, here's something lovely from superstar Japanese haiku powerhouse Madoka Mayuzumi: “Because haiku are short and cannot be explained, the unsaid parts between the lines reveal the most important part of yourself.”
So, if you want me meet the most important part of me, this is the booklet to buy.
By the way, the booklets cost far more than £15 to make, so I am selling each one at a loss. There's something perversely attractive about this to me. It's my contribution to the gift economy (let me know if you'd like to know more about that).
If you'd like to pay a bit more, you can increase the price on the next page. But that's totally up to you. And oh, once you place the order you'll get a little pop-up asking for your postal address.
Much love, and thank you for supporting my work.
