Revised Edition: LukivPress (Victoria, BC), 2022. This book (stories written through haiku and senryu format) is a work of fiction. People, places, and events are products of the author's imagination, or they are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to a real event, place, or person, alive or dead, is a coincidence.
