Hello everyone,
This is to let you know I have just published a poem in four acts in collaboration with a US poet, Jerry Gordon. The chapbook is called ‘Unbecome’.
We have privately made a total of 20 copies (10 apiece). Each book has a unique cover, hand painted using a special technique, and is hand-sewn. I thought you or someone from haiku class might be interested in purchasing one?

A sample of this book will be available to inspect at the next few Hailstone seminars in Osaka and Kyoto.
