Hog Wild Anthology

I'm happy that I have a haiku included in Hog Wild Anthology

the juicy converstions
of guests

If you want to know more about this anthology, here's a review that I posted on Facebook. 


Hog Wild, edited by Corine Timmer and published by Bicadeideias, is much more than just pleasing to the eye. Though its pebble art adds a fun and earthy touch, this haiku collection digs deeper. It stems straight from the heart of the contributing poets launching us into a sensory-rich experience. The clever sequencing of the poems by the editor enhances this experience even further. From a piglet plushy to a hog’s head perched on sticks, this is one book I would like to read over and over again! Proceeds go to Farms Not Factories, a charity in the United Kingdom. 

Here are some examples from Hog Wild:

Tuscan boar stew
a taste of the meadow
in every bite

one round pig nose
stuck between bars
