The Book of Uncommon Hours: a book of haiku poetry - Paperback

by Rachel Toalson (Author)

The Book of Uncommon Hours is a collection of haiku poems that chronicle a day in the life of a mom, a partner, a writer, a creative human being, a woman. It includes both the happenings of daily life and the wonderings and musings that strike at the oddest of hours. Written entirely in haiku poetry, award-winning poet Rachel Toalson demonstrates how the daily, seemingly mundane events of life can be collected with startling clarity, purpose, and wonder, and so become something far greater.

The poems in The Book of Uncommon Hours range from humorous and celebratory to solemn and fundamental, touching upon subjects such as parenting, femininity, beauty, anxiety, and living, among many others.

The Book of Uncommon Hours is Rachel's third book of poetry and a stunning representation of the small moments that add up to a spectacular life.
