‘Haiku’s of the Heart.’

By Shannon Gowens

This is my third book of poetry written in quarantine. This time I decided to stick with one format - Haiku. Although the poems are significantly shorter, I do hope that the emotions and intention of the poems have equal weight and meaning to the reader. Enjoy!

Shannon Gowens

This is my second book of poetry written in quarantine. This book is a continued expression of the emotional highs and lows I have experienced being at home with my children ages 8 and 11, social isolation, and through changes in relationships. With my previous book there was more of a singular theme of love and longing for connection. This book has a greater range of raw emotions. I share them in vulnerability and hope that my feelings may touch others and make them feel less alone on their own emotional journeys.
