The Soul Bendin' Blues, Hardback Book

The Soul Bendin' Blues Hardback

Illustrated by Patricia Lantz

Hardback

Description

I write haiku when I'm feelin' blue and when love andpain make me want. Join us on a journey through the pain of betrayal, divorce and after... We love the traditional Japanese haiku format of 17 syllables on 3 lines: 5-7-5.

It is very symmetrical, terse and disciplined. However, these are not your great grandfather's haiku.

This is Modern American Haiku. We do keep the fundamental format, but that 's all. For one thing, we give them titles, which we believe helps the reader focus on the punch in each haiku.

Second, there is word play. Third, there is the extra dimension of the images in which the haiku are embedded or by which they are framed.

We believe the reader will be amazed at how well the illustrations deepen the haiku. Ted and PatriciaTed Becker has led many lives: Class clown of his high school.

One came in Paris in 1964. The other in Laguna Beach, Californiain 1969. The third, this haiku stage, is the longest and most serious.

It seems to comein waves and intensify. Patricia Lantz is an Atlanta based counseling astrologer whose life has been an amazing journey of discovery.
