My book talk<\/strong>: A Montana poet and photographer celebrates the many sides of love in this collected volume of haiku paired with photos, originally posted daily on his tumblr.<\/p>\n

“Love me as I am,
\nsee me for who I will be,
\nforgive who I was.”<\/p>\n

Hand-written on sticky notes or set down on paper with an old-fashioned typewriter, each haiku says love, every day.<\/p>\n

“It’s okay you know,
\nto be carried now and then,
\nStrength too needs a rest.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
