    β€œSeven friends (including Michael Stype, Douglas A. Martin, and Grant Lee Phillips) make a pact to write a haiku a day as a way to keep in touch. Captures everyday moments from the exquisite to the mundane. Profane, funny, sad, and so much unexpected beauty. patio furniture where we laughed now covered in snow”

    β€œ@Catherine Davis Thank you for this rec! Delightful book of haikus shared between seven friends over a year in 1996 (Michael Stipe being one of them). It’s a cozy and quiet little book and I love this page below. Makes me want to start writing haikus on postcards to my friends πŸ’Œβ€
