The book is divided into three sections. The first is Sky Haiku, a collection of pieces in which, over decades, Ed Manual has attempted to write in a tradition going back many centuries in Japan. It is of the short three-line poem which might, as poet Ezra Pound said, 'present an image'. Ed has drawn inspiration from the early haiku masters. The second section is Road Poems, a group of 'free verse’ (without regular rhyme, meter, etc.) poems penned while driving through various states. The final section, Other Poems, completes the work with a mix of free verse pieces culled from different stages in a writing career, up to the present. The work is complemented by a selection of artworks by artist Tom Mahady, who joins Ed here in their second collaboration; he also enhanced the booklet Spring Haiku with eight collage/ink drawings. Torn also produced the cover art for the present book.
