Owen Bullock is a Cornishman who has lived in Aotearoa New Zealand for twenty years. Poetry has been his passion since his teens and he has been writing and publishing haiku for the last decade. His work has been published in such prestigious overseas and international journals as Frogpond, Famous Reporter, paper wasp, Raw NervZ, World Haiku Review, Kokako, Red Moon and Mainichi Daily News.
This collection of 81 haiku exemplifies Owen's insight and skill in taking everyday moments and events, and somehow, in simple language, making them something much more -- images that continue to resonate in our hearts and minds long after the page is shut. With him, we move from the delicately sensate, tired\\ I crouch in the grass –\\ wild camomile, to the dark reflection of the rain \\ heavier \\ than tears, then shift to the wry humour of wish I'd said goodbye . . . \\ the key-ring \\ swings in the lock and the final veridical image, the sky\\ and all of the lake\\ in the lake.
