Driveway Chalk Stars of Pajama Astronomers: A Year of Haiku - Paperback

by Jeff Mellin (Author)

A year of observation and reflection. Of snapshots, soundbites, and tiny stories. Of kōans, riddles, and magic tricks. Of meditations and revelations. A year of haiku. Artist, writer, designer, and musician Jeff Mellin shares his year-long project to chronicle, in both words and images, the micro-moments of day-to-day life raising his three young boys. "In a sense, writing the year of haiku was like taking photographs without a camera. I learned to see these haiku moments around me, wherever I was, because I told myself I had to. It wasn't so much finding beauty or meaning in everyday things, but knowing I could find beautiful or meaningful things everyday." Illustrated with 60 black & white photographs.
