the weight of dandelions

This collection explores each moment to discover its essence. Believing there is beauty (and humor) in the everyday world, Gloviczki declares in one poem: "queen-size bed / the dog lets me / sleep there too" recognizing the relationship between animals and their humans. The speaker in these haiku and senryu poems also wonders about the passing seasons and worries about the balance between permanence and impermanence around the world. Within the tight boundaries of each poem, the weight of dandelions invites the reader toward appreciation and affirmation. Gloviczki works as an assistant professor of communication at Coker College in Hartsville, South Carolina, USA
