I Miss Getting Lost began as an experiment in haiku and evolved into something more playful and free-form. While rooted in the classical five-seven-five structure, this collection drifts beyond, combining verse and prose into hybrid poems that sit closer to senryu and haibun than traditional haiku.
Written as travelogue-in-haiku, each of the five sections reflects a separate journey to Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, and a distinct experience of place, sensory, and self. From basking alongside iguanas to retracing foliage-filled paths of pre-Columbian civilizations, these poems transport readers into the textures of the up-and-coming Yucatán.
Composed of 110 hybrid haikus, I Miss Getting Lost melds Japanese poetic form with contemporary voice. So pull up a camastro, let the sand settle between your toes, and sip these moments slowly. This is a book for readers who enjoy poetry that travels and echoes long after the journey ends.
