Small Events: Haibun by W. F. Owen (Expanded 2nd Ed.)

Hi All,

My haibun book now is available as an ebook (all major formats)
by clicking on the title above. Here is the description:

Awarded Best Haibun book by the Haiku Society of America in 2008, 
this expanded second edition offers sixty haibun. A haibun links brief, 
imagistic and poetic prose with one or more haiku. Traced to Basho’s 
17th century travel writings, these English-language haibun involve 
concrete stories (small events) where the everyday becomes remarkable. 
Come join the author in reliving these epiphanies. 


You can check out a free sample of 25% of the book there.


Thanks! Soon, I will resume posting new material here.
