I'm very pleased to have one of my haiku included in The Midwest Haiku Traveling Rock Garden. The brainchild of fellow Ohio haiku poet, Matthew Markworth, The Midwest Haiku Traveling Rock Garden is a growing literary exhibit of previously-published haiku that celebrates English-language haiku. Thematically, it portrays images one may encounter in the Midwest.
Forty haiku were chosen for this first installation of the rock garden. I think forty more will be chosen next year. It's such a a cool idea. The rocks are small enough to fit in your hands, but hefty enough to give weight to these ephemeral poems. A poem in hand. A poem in the landscape. Poems that can be picked up or arranged on a table or on the floor and walked around or tucked under a hosta leaf or stacked like a cairn. The possibilities are endless!
And stay tuned because The Haiku Traveling Rock Garden is coming to the Johnson- Humrickhouse Museum in 2025!
