Haiku: Cutting Words, Expanding Thoughts offers moments of introspection, of elation, of passion, and of wonder. Walk with the author as she whisks you along on a journey across shimmering shores, over frosted peaks and through moments ranging from deep contemplation to playful notions. The haiku poems offered in this volume are set into three themes – Beach, Mountains, Reflecting – envisioned as refrains to guide one along the paths paved with each chapter. 
Accompanying these beautiful poems are artful expressions of “thought-scapes” offered to evoke visions of the themes set forth across the chapters and the imagery of the prose. The artist has lent a hand to the journey by providing evocative visual references to enrich the reader’s sensations. The eye will find allusions to poetic phrases throughout this book, as the works of art help to weave the intimate tapestry of this redolent collection into an inspired amalgamation.
