Room Full of Chairs

I was thrilled to see a blog called Basho's Road dedicate a post to my first book of poems, Room Full of Chairs.  It's hard to believe that it has been 10 years since that book came out.  My second book of haiku, Things Being What They Are, came out this spring.  Here's a sample of the new book, too:

back from Iraq
my former student remembers
freshman year

first day of school
the Latin teacher
coated in chalk

Bassett pup
his whole snout
in every footstep
