My Dear Readers:
I'm happy to share with you this exciting news: NeverEnding Story contributor Elmedin Kadric published a new book, light packing, his second full-length collection of haiku just "as potent and ground-breaking as his award-winning first, buying time."
Elmedin Kadric is a minimalist haiku poet writing out of Helsingborg, Sweden. His first full-length collection, buying time, was awarded second place at the Haiku Society of America Merit Book Awards for excellence in haiku poetry. His poetry has appeared in many prestigious journals and multiple volumes of the Red Moon Anthology, which assembles each year the finest haiku and related forms published around the world.
Selected Haiku:
from monologue
to dialogue
the river enters the sea
your absence
the only sound
faraway rain
driving home --
nobody to hold
the ashes
dandelion fluff
telling my long-lost sister
the story of us
to dialogue
the river enters the sea
your absence
the only sound
faraway rain
driving home --
nobody to hold
the ashes
dandelion fluff
telling my long-lost sister
the story of us
at the touch
of birdsong
the first blush
of spring
a bourbon
on the rocks
on the house
autumn rain
of birdsong
the first blush
of spring
a bourbon
on the rocks
on the house
autumn rain
Happy Reading
Chen-ou
