Happy to present a look at my new book , One Day- Thirty Years of Little Poems that was published on my birthday, August 1st by Larry Kimmel of Stark Mountain Press. It is a set of poems that I gathered to create a little poem cycle from morning to night by selecting poems from across 30 plus years of writing. I was invited to give a reading at Haiku Circle last summer June 2022 and it was after that reading that two friends suggested I make a little book collection from the reading. I liked the idea and even though it took a whole year to get it together I am grateful that it has now arrived and for anyone who might like a copy or wish to give a friend a copy you can find it on Amazon for $6. You can search for it in Amazon under books and just type in ” One Day” by Tom Clausen and it should appear. I will post the link in the comments. You can read my foreword and afterword of this 77 page book that features a few of my photos on the front and back covers. 8-14-23.

Tom Clausen (www.tomclausen.com) is a life-long Ithacan living in the same house he grew up in with his wife, Berta. He became interested in haiku and related short forms of poetry in the late 1980s after reading an article that profiled Ruth Yarrow’s haiku. There was instant recognition that haiku was a form that might help with his tendency of wordiness, repetition, and overstatement. He has been reading and writing haiku, senryu, tanka, and little poems ever since. Tom is the curator of a daily online haiku feature at Mann Library, Cornell University, where he worked for over 35 years before retiring in 2013. In 2003, Tom was invited to join the Route 9 Haiku group. The group publishes a journal twice a year, Dim Sum, featuring selected work by members John Stevenson, Hilary Tann, Mary Stevens, Yu Chang, Tom Clausen, and a guest poet, as well as haiga by Romanian artist and poet Ion Codrescu. Tom enjoys walking, biking, photography, music and simply observing and documenting what there is to be found. He especially cares for cats and deer. |
