Book of the Week: A Nameless Place

morcom_anamelessplacecoverJoanne Morcom has a predilection for topics that are generally outside of haiku’s classical content, especially the dark places of the heart and mind. This 2006 work (Sam’s Dot Publishing) supplies a good sampling of her deepest fears.

You can read the entire book in the THF Digital Library.

sticking out
of the school yard sand

the wrist watch
on the dead body


even by day
his hands have come
scratching at the door


wondering
if the trees hear it too
low humming


spotting her
at the shopping mall
another me
