Hayworks: Aphorisms, Poems, & Short Essays

by David Hayward

“Hayworks” are David Hayward’s selected works, written, in a variety of genres, over a lifetime—he turns 80 this year (2020). Amusing, enlightened, and provocative, these works are interwoven with Hayward’s experiences as a massage therapist, a professional astrologer, and a jazz trumpeter (for Sonny Rollins, Stan Kenton, and Janis Joplin). Hayward presents his works in sections, according to his prevailing Aphorisms, Music, Poetry, Astrology, Karma, Aging, and Corrections. His previous publications include Shorthand of the The Quotable Horoscope Vol. 1 (1999), The Lowered Bucket (2003), Hoisted Water (2004), Compensation (2006), and The Substance of Pauses (2008).
