"There’s nothing simple about haikus, of course. The meaning they portray, the intensity felt in 17 syllables, is astonishing. It’s easy to gloss over a haiku; much harder to sit with one and challenge yourself to understand it."
From A. Poythress's review of HAIKU4U by Gilmore Tamny.

The radiologist should have known / how persistent the seed was that he had pushed / into the soft earth of my brain.

"This illustration was inspired by the rare kind of postmortem delivery occurring during the decomposition of a pregnant body. I feel the viewer will make their own judgement."

“Again and Again”
Book Review of Gilmore Tamny's HAIKU4U
by A. Poythress

"That’s the thing about haikus; you can read one in the time it takes to blink, but that doesn’t mean you’ve read it. It’s what you have to do with Gilmore Tamny’s HAIKU4U; sit with it and try to glean understanding from it. At roughly 240 poems, that’s a tall order. It’s hard enough to understand one finely crafted haiku, but over two-hundred? And yet, if you truly take your time, it can be done."
-A. Poythress
