Astronauts Arrive in the Garden of Eden : Haikus From Another Place

Bok av Billy Traylor
Within Astronauts Arrive in the Garden of Eden are over 1400 seventeen-syllable short stories, observations, moments, and advice. Examples include a creepy neighbor at the back door, a hiker made of chicken wire, a bank robber with itchy hairs down his collar, orchids growing in jigsaw puzzle dust, and a haunted baby monitor. The short haiku form allows the reader's imagination to expand the stories if they want to. Beyond that, the purpose is just to entertain.
