haiku and tanka books by Larry Kimmel
alone tonight is a long sequence of interspersed haiku and
tanka, with the occasional mini-haibun. The seasons are an
organizing factor; however, themes are subtly interwoven, not over
a single year, but rather cycling through three years. Here are
the best of Kimmel’s early haikai work. A Winfred Press Book: 1998.
Perfect bound, 6 x 9, 68 pp.
$11.00 plus $3.00 postage (media mail) (use orderform and write in this book or request a paypal invoice.)
the necessary fly
at Kate's Diner
under the plastic cake lid
– the necessary fly title poem
says much about the working aesthetic upon which the haiku of this
book are based. As this is a gathering of the poet' s favorites
over an eleven year span, readers will necessarily find some overlap
of haiku from his earlier book,
alone tonight, however, the
greater part of this collection is not to be found elsewhere.
Kimmel has a great range of interests, employing the full
five
senses, touching not only on keenly caught moments in nature but
also in
human nature and the erotic. A Winfred Press Chapbook:
2001 - 2007. Perfect bound, 6 x 9, 38 pp.
$7.00 plus $2.50 postage (media mail) (use orderform and write in this book or request a paypal invoice.)
a river years from here is a book of haibun, with occasional
poems both in traditional and free form that complement the overall
themes. Kimmel is as always a careful observer of both the
natural
environment, as well as human relational events. He ranges from the
lyrical, or prose poem, to the anecdotal, to the brief, but biting
memoir. Included in
a river years from here is a
Whitmanesque-style account of the
Johnstown Flood of 1889, as
experienced and told by his maternal grandmother who, as a child,
floated through this unforgettable catastrophe on a rooftop. A

haibun by Jerry Kilbride
Tracings: Haibun by Jerry Kilbride/2003/Lily Pool Press/drawings by Chukiat Jaroensuk/mock perfect bound (folded cover with hand-sewn binding/9" (h)x 6" (w). Limited letter press edition

Limited edition was printed in letterpress on Hammer paper with a Quest flyleaf and Skytone cover. This is Jerry Kilbride's last book. Jerry was a MASTER poet whose prose ran head to head with his verse. Kilbride's work stands up to and possibly surpasses the best haibun pieces. His haibun take us across the globe and through decades of adventures. I couldn't recommend a better batch of haibun from this poet who met Jack Kerouac a couple of times as well as Allen Ginsberg. Jerry is the real thing. This edition is limited to a 250 copy print run. This book will stay in your library. It's a keeper!
