High Coup: A Highway 575 Odyssey

Bol

High Coup is a quiet rebellion from the author's otherwise technical life-a poetic breakwater against decades of scientific education, Naval service, and Medical practice. Poetry has long been his secret escape route, a tether to beauty and sanity, a connection to an elevated form of humanity. He never let his peers in on the secret. Not even his brother suspected he was the one reading all those old books Mom refused to throw out. As time passes and miles accumulate, his quiet reading gives way to furtive writing. Scribbled fragments get stuffed into burgeoning notebooks that travel with him for decades. When he finally sorts through them, an unlikely treasure is revealed: Haiku.Many emerge unintentionally, tucked within longer drafts, waiting to be drawn out and honored in their own right. This book is both a collection and an experiment-an irreverent twist on a centuries-old form, with some original invention ("Bri-Ku") thrown in for good measure. It's also a first leap into publishing, a foray outside the author's familiar world of Engineering and Medicine. While he's never actually purchased a book of Haiku before, he's created one anyway-tongue in cheek, fully aware of the irony, hopeful it lands with readers who, like him, never saw it coming. High Coup: All original. Nothing artificial. Let's see if you can read just one.
