    About this ebook

    How hard could it be to write a poem every day? What started as a deeply personal journalling device evolved into a collection of haiku-like poems, one for each day of the year. Using surreal imagery and turns of phrase, "A Year Rewritten" takes you behind the eyes of a unique creative documenting a most eventful season of life.
