Contemporary Haiku
Contemporary HaikuIf you liked Chuck Palahniuk’s anti establishment Haiku in Fight Club, you will definitely love Tara’s usage of Haiku style poetry with her stance on anti corporatism, transcendent love and the meaning of existence that are highly relatable in our everyday lives with this contemporary western interpretation. This compilation contains 200 haiku in 80 pages.
A short but meaningful read that will leave you thinking for days.I have to admit, although I am Asian, I am not a fan of old fashioned Haiku, nature and flowers put me to sleep.
But Tara had managed to captivate my imagination with her usage of strong imagery in communicating sentiments and fragments of time using illustrations from our chaotic modern day lives (working in a day job, taxi, drinks, psychosis).
We all have done that and been there! She magically infuses her contemporary dance moves to into the strict confines of 5-7-5 of the traditional geisha dance.
Here are some verses that I liked… (some made me smile).
“secretarial
submission demanded by
the corporate cocks”
“passion is not meant
for indentured servitude
i said . . . but they laughed”
And more!!

(Tara is my editor for the Red Hourglass, and she had recently published a haiku poetry ebook on Amazon. This is my honest review.)
