White Heat: haiku of Sara Tropper

$20.00

“It is human nature to process tragic events into a neat package void of emotion and morality, flesh and blood. Sara Tropper does the opposite in White Heat. She bravely unpacks all, masterfully taking the reader to uncensored war-torn realities.”

— Stanford M. Forrester/sekiro, Editor,  bottle rockets press

Description

“Lions hunt to survive. Hyenas scavenge carcasses. Vultures swarm until only bones remain.  And humans? We kill and are killed — but for what?  Encountering Sara Tropper’s haiku left me stunned. They spoke of a reality beyond my understanding, shaped by experiences I have never endured  war.  If only we could turn back time to a world untouched by tragedy.”

— Fay Aoyagi, Associate Editor of The Heron’s Nest

first day of shiva —
the wail of the baby
without her breast



absorbing my sorrow your skin
