Haiku Wars
Haiku Wars is a lampoon of the internecine conflicts in the small pond of literary haiku. The protagonist, Poet, must unravel the mystery of a missing manuscript in a single day or face dire consequences. Along the way, and guided by his pet ferret Oscar, he interacts with sundry poets, each with his or her own agenda—political and poetic. The resulting work is full of laughter and enlightenment, and a window into the quirky world of one-breath poetry and the "wars" that consume it.
