Description

“Love Is Not The Way To” is a collection of haikus dedicated to the life and works of Richard Brautigan. The poems reflect both his oeuvre and his life, not only as a tip-of-the-hat homage but also as a way of re-introducing his poetic sensibility to a newer and wider audience. There was something of the English-language Japanese poetic forms that made perfect sense to the aesthetic of Richard Brautigan, and Stan Rogal comes to these forms through a Brautigan lens in this poetry collection.
