These poems were reprinted in the anthology, The Haiku Way To Healing: Illness, Injury and Pain (Including Senryu, Tanka and Haiga). Edited by Robert Epstein, 2022. Middle Island Press, West Union, WV.

I will share my poems again here in the same sequence as published in the book. I am grateful. The editor included the credit for our blog, and the dates, if readers wish to visit. The anthology is a print book, available from Amazon.

books and music
from over the years
live on these shelves

even if I don’t
reread or listen again

somehow their
healing influence
is in these words
