A very short book of very short poems by a reasonably tall man, who hunches so he can converse with normally proportioned people without discomfiting them.This book of haikus and snatches of verse explores nature in its many incarnations, human and bestial, regimented and anarchistic. From the bucolic expanses of Richfield Minnesota to the blood-spattered tenements of Los Angeles, wild/life shudders but will not stall on you. It will take you somewhere engaging. The ride is short, best strap yourself in tightly. A graduate of the University of Southern California's Cinema-Television Production program, Jerome Berglund spent a picaresque decade in the entertainment industry before returning to the Midwest where he was born and raised. His recent and forthcoming writing publications include short stories in Paragon Press, Stardust, and the Watershed Review, a play in Iris Literary Journal, and poetry in the Dewdrop, Wild Roof, and a Flying Ketchup Press anthology collection. He is also an established, award-winning fine art photographer, whose black and white pictures have been exhibited in galleries across New York, Minneapolis, and Santa Monica.
