oars up, haiku of Joe Mckeon

Description

Shortlisted for the Touchstone Distinguished Books Award 2019 by The Haiku Foundation!

“oars up is a slow drift back in time to the poet’s growing-up years on the south side of Chicago. A wordsmith, a craftsman, an artist! Joe McKeon captures these childhood memories with sensitivity and emotion.”

— Julie Warther

“With oars up we have a worthy successor to Peggy Lyles’ To Hear the Rain in its testimony to a life as well observed as lived.”

— Scott Mason

oars up is Joe McKeon’s first full-length collection of English-language haiku.
