In this collection of 32 haiku presented in the Carolingian hand of JS Graustein, Gary Schroeder celebrates the intimacy of moments. In translating his observations into sensory-rich poems, Schroeder has granted us access to his private library of the domestic and the wild, the celestial and the terrestrial, the rare and the mundane. To leaf through this subtly elegant collection is to be transported to new microcosms, each with its own sense of time.

He lives on a 50-acre ranch in rural Douglas County, Colorado, near Castlewood Canyon State Park, where he hikes as often as he can.
JS GRAUSTEIN is a co-author of the poetry, essay, and photography collection Water Ways. She has been playing with letter-forms since she could hold a crayon.

FROM THE FOREWORD:
“….It helps, of course, if the poet is conversant with both the world and his or her own heart. In this, Gary Schroeder is a master. He uses words to point us toward what is beyond words and so gives voice to what typically passes without notice….”
~Joseph Hutchison, Colorado Poet Laureate 2014-2018
