I am working on the next book in the "Fukiu" series.
Jorie Henrickson
My book "Fukiu" has six chapters, each inspired by a different scourge of society. The general categories are roommates, exes, corporations, bad drivers and the workplace. I also have a chapter for the general community.
Some of the poems refer to events from my own life. An example is the one about the boyfriend who wanted us to live in a storage unit. Well, the whole "Exes" chapter is from my own life.
The "Corporations" chapter addresses actions taken by corporations. I include footnotes from online sources to explain the inspiration for each.
I am happy to answer questions about particular fukiu.

A few years ago, I was seeing a guy who would mysteriously disappear about once a week. This inspired a haiku that essentially said, "WTF? You aren't Batman." I called the poem a fukiu.
