The Canberra Times published Andrew’s poem, “Sketches of Life”, in its Saturday Panorama arts section on 24 February 2018. “Sketches of Life” is a set of six haiku. The first and sixth haiku of the set are posted below:
Sketches of Life
. i
The scent of onions—
from the kitchen the sound of
a knife tap-dancing.…
. vi
A shrugging gesture—
the child making it uses
even her eyebrows.© Andrew Lansdown
This complete version of “sketches of Life” is included in Andrew’s new collection, Distillations of Different Lands, scheduled for publication by Sunline Press next month.
