Haiku Guy
Published in 2000, Haiku Guy is the first of my haiku- peppered novels. It tells the story of Buck-Teeth, a provincial poet and fictitious student of Issa (Cup-of-Tea), who in the course of his training travels to ancient Edo and contemporary New Orleans, falls in and out of love, considers the many schools of haiku, and ultimately learns what it is to be a poet.
