Only Thunder: A Family Journey
$20.00
David Oates’s new book offers us a journey through the momentous and minor events of life, centered largely around family. Reading it, we become family too.
Description
The haiku community has long appreciated David Oates’s comedic side. In his new collection he more often plays the straight man, noting the events of family fortune with a much enjoined but still objective eye. The result is a journey most everyone will recognize to be part of their own. Includes a baker’s dozen full-color illustrations.
“In this collection David Oates takes us on a journey through the momentous and minor events of life. Centered largely around family, the poems vibrate with tenderness and a generous dose of humor. From the sound of a dolphin’s breath to perfectly ripe cantaloupe to a shed sequin, Oates captures what might otherwise go unnoticed, shines a spotlight on it, and shows us something essential about being human.”
