17: Haiku Poems

by Eric Overby

Haiku is the art of saying much with few words while capturing the simple beauty we miss in everyday life. 17 explores the possibilities of viewing life through seventeen syllables. What can be said in such a short gathering of sounds? What meaning can be found? What beauty can be seen? Eric approaches these questions as he journals his life through the art of haiku.
