Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - After a multi-faceted career, M.L. (Mike) VanBlaricum has turned his attention to writing poetry and musing on his life as a Baby Boomer. The author is a prototypical Boomer. He was born in 1950 and went off to college to study engineering in the explosive year of 1968. He grew up in small towns in Illinois where he developed a fascination with science, the trombone, nature, and girls. This collection of poems, essays, and musings includes memories and reflections of being a free-range child in the Fifties, a restrained teenager in the Sixties, a college student in the Seventies, and a rambunctious retiree in the Tens. VanBlaricum's accessible writings are laced with wry humor, musical references, and surprise endings. The subject matter ranges from lost loves, the importance of puppy love to the wonderment of real love, what it means to be a Baby Boomer, teenage angst, ruminations on kite-flying and teeter-totters, a fascination with clouds, toads, and moons, and observations and sideways ponderings on natural phenomena. The internal dialogue between engineer and poet bookends this collection.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Pop Goes the Haiku: A Book of American Haiku and Senryu is a collection of very short poems by M. L. VanBlaricum, written in the spirit of Jack Kerouac's "American Pops." VanBlaricum states in the preface that he is not trying to obey traditional haiku rules or count syllables. His aim is simpler: to catch a moment, an image, a feeling, or a joke before it disappears. That gives the book its relaxed structure and its plainspoken voice.The collection moves through several sections: Love and Feelings, Moons, Observations and Happenings, Questions, Birds and Two Bees, Nature and Seasons, and Travel. The subject matter is broad but personal. VanBlaricum writes about marriage, surgery, grief, parents, grandparents, old friends, childhood memories, campus life, birds, insects, dogs, squirrels, weather, aging, travel, and comic mishaps. Many poems are closer to senryu than traditional haiku because they focus on human behavior, irony, memory, embarrassment, and absurdity. Others are more purely observational: moonlight through a skylight, a lone goose under the waning moon, cherry blossoms, monarchs, tree frogs, and Normandy crosses.The voice is warm but not sentimental. VanBlaricum often undercuts reflection with humor: memory slows, bodies creak, trombones annoy neighbors, and a vulture circling a grill becomes a joke about dead meat. But the book also has quiet emotional force, especially in poems about family death, marital devotion, and the passage of time. Murf O'Dean's illustrations and VanBlaricum's photographs add a casual visual companion to the poems, making the book feel like a curated album of moments. The closing dialogue makes the point directly: by becoming succinct, the writer leaves room for the reader's interpretation and emotional participation in each spare poem. Its commercial appeal will be strongest for readers who like approachable poetry, light humor, aging reflections, nature writing, and illustrated gift books.This is VanBlaricum's second book of poetry. His first, Reflections in a Boomer's Eye, was published in 2016. Pop Goes the Haiku collects M. L. VanBlaricum's "American Pops" three-line haiku-like poems and senryu that moves through love, aging, family memory, moons, birds, nature, travel, and everyday absurdities. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
