Owen Bullock is a Cornishman who has lived in Aotearoa-New Zealand for twenty years. Poetry has been his passion since his teens, and he has been writing and publishing haku for the last decade. His work has been published in such prestigious overseas and international journals as Frogpond, Famous Reporter, paper wasp, Raw NervZ, World Haiku Review, Kokako, Red Moon and Manaichi Daily News.   This collection of 81 haiku exemplifies Owen’s insight and skill in taking everyday moments and events, and somehow, in simple language, making them something much more - images that continue to resonate in our hearts and minds long after the page is shut.  With him, we move from the delicately sensate: tired I crouch in the grass – wild camomile to the dark reflection of: the rain heavier than tears - then shift to the wry humour of: wish I’d said goodbye . . . the key-ring swings in the lock and to the final veridical image: the sky and all of the lake in the lake.
