About this ebook
More Coffee & Philosophy is a book of poems inspired by classic Japanese poetry forms. Much like its predecessor, Coffee & Philosophy, the poems were originally posted on one of the author's blogs, and the book is therefore, being given away for free. The poems contained in this volume, however, were all written for National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo) in April of 2018.

I've been a blogger much longer than I think I have. It seems that only a year or so ago, I started the infernal hobby of writing, but in fact, I've been doing it for years. The thing is, I have this strange desire to actually write more than just blog posts. And it is in response to this self-imposed calling that I find myself here at Smashwords.
