Kansas author Robert Cory offers a collection of his latest experiments in prose and poetry. A few are in the traditional haiku form, but the entire collection is a haiku-style contemplation of his environment, both natural and human. In the tradition of wordsmiths like e. e. cummings, Cory plays with syntax and vocabulary but is always true to his underlying emotion. The caustic humor of his generation, influenced by Zap Comix and The Far Side, infuses his take on current affairs:
Rock-a-bye your Liberty to the Scofflaw Blues. Do I vote
Tweedledee or Tweedledum? Each has an opposing thumb. But when he writes for and about children, it is with love for their unconditioned impulses:
When your shoes wear down and your feet are sore
Remember the bodacious blue bear and the shoes he outwore.
And if someone you know doesn't have a smile
Don't wait around. Lend them yours for a while.
