From the publisher
Poetry. Art. Gilmore Tamny has done no less than reinvent the haiku form for contemporary readers in HAIKU4U. Irreverent, reverent, whimsical, philosophical, and short, these poems are not just for people who like poetry, nor for people who avoid poetry. They are, dear reader, for YOU.
In these apocalyptic end-times, I recommend reading twenty of Ms. Tamny's haikus every day to remind yourself that humankind is still, in certain rare instances, redeemable. May god bless her!--Daniel Clowes Frequently stepping into her own scenes to interject camp commentary as a kind of arch, gently self-deprecating presence, she has developed a way to simultaneously celebrate and satirize the conventions of the haiku form itself, drawing attention to what we expect of it, while in the process making something that feels fresh and new.--Trace Peterson Gilmore Tamny has taken haiku by the horns and pulled it into the 21st century. She populates her 17-syllable masterpieces with Fritos, pit bulls, punk rock, baklava, chicken parm subs, and Usain Bolt. HAIKU4U is a poetic manual that reminds us that honesty, clarity, and humor are the keys to embracing the minute particulars of daily life.--Todd Colby Whether you're wearing your new squirrel dress or your carapace, Gilmore Tamny's tiny, multi-faceted poems will delight you.--Jessy Randall Gilmore Tamny brings her vast experience being a rock star tobare with this ancient, and beautiful form. And what emerges is perfect, like infinite taco emojis.--Jim Behrle
