Haiku Rain

My book proposal is in progress to publish a not-so-typical photo essay/poetry book of haiku, tanka, and haibun (see poetry definitions below). The book will include images of nature, photographs that unravel Juneau's past through the generations of my family, and unusual images and collage.

Book excerpts (coming soon)
