Five stars for frogments

cover for frogments from the frag pool
“Tour de force of visuals & haiku based on a famous poem: [Gary Barwin and derek beaulieu] have twisted Basho’s Frog Haiku into an outstanding collection of witty puns, permutations, and visual poems. The poems are a great read of the authors’ creative playfulness and the visual poems formed by hand-drawn letters have a wry sense of humor. It’s not [your] usual haiku collection but one that engages the reader in visual/verbal contemplation. I highly recommend it. Five stars.” - Marvin A. Sackner, amazon.com

Tour de force of visuals & haiku based on a famous poem: [Gary Barwin and derek beaulieu] have twisted Basho’s Frog Haiku into an outstanding collection of witty puns, permutations, and visual poems. The poems are a great read of the authors’ creative playfulness and the visual poems formed by hand-drawn letters have a wry sense of humor.
