Cool Announcement: New Release, rust

My Dear Readers:

I'm happy to share with you this exciting news: NeverEnding Story contributor Elmedin Kadric  published a new book, rust, his third full-length collection of haiku. In his haiku, Kadric "celebrates the bittersweetness of contrasts, tensions, and paradoxes... He offers to accompany the reader along the path of life, often in necessary and companionable silence."

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. And his poetry has appeared in many prestigious journals and multiple volumes of the Red Moon Anthology. 

 

Selected Haiku:

 

with the rust of one still together 

holding off

holding on

wren song

fall leaves

they, too, settle

out of court

short day

this cold shell

of a bullet

living alone

telling one cry of a crow

from another

Happy Reading
