This delightful book is the perfect gift for chicken lovers. Its 24 haiku and complementary full-color illustrations are both sophisticated and humorous to appeal to adults and children alike.
The poems incorporate traditional haiku elements with a playful twist. Each haiku captures a moment in time--from droll to wistful, revelatory to whimsical.
Many of the illustrations are collages that entail painting on papers reassembled from discarded books, with clever, layered details that lend to the reading of the poem. Pencil and watercolor also help convey the nature of these endearing creatures.
The two arts play off each other charmingly, as in this haiku that matches the cover image:
Scratch, scratch, scratch,
digging for gold flecks--
when do dreams hatch?
Backyard chicken owners will recognize their own hens on these pages, and readers less familiar with chickens' entertaining personalities will come to see them in a whole new light.
More sample poems and images can be found on chickenhaiku.com.
