rock paper scissors ocean: haiku of Sabine Miller
$20.00
“rock paper scissors ocean is a modern-day “narrow road to the interior.” For six years Miller has traveled between the Arizona desert and the California coast without putting down roots. “homeless/the mountain sees me/as mist.” She may not have a permanent residence, but she is very much at home in her senses, her witness of the world, and in her use of language. This is a brilliant collection, long overdue from this haiku adept.”
— Cherie Hunter Day
Description
“Sabine Miller’s rock paper scissors ocean invites readers to plumb the depths of her exquisitely crafted haiku. The line breaks are both effective and unexpected, whether in traditional tercets or concrete and visual poems. Rife with companions from the natural world, these pages teem with caterpillars, butterflies, nightingales, crickets in ribcages, hawks birthing fields, sagacious red ants, the ‘blue touch’ of flowers, and the indifference of a goddess tuning the wind, alongside other startling and bold images. The persona’s ‘LIFE BEHIND GLASS’ becomes a window for us to push open and partake in the dance as ‘stone fruits bloom.’”
— Shloka Shankar (Founding Editor, Sonic Boom)
winter
a conspiracy of shells
I listen in
naked oak — the goddess
who didn’t cure the pain
tunes the wind
a finger through the flame glass steeple birds
homeless
the mountain sees me
as mist
