Her poems are private rites/rituals of passage that never cease questions or delving into the dark, forbidding surface of things.

~Bruce Weber, Author of POETIC JUSTICE

It’s good to see her high-powered, hard-edged poems collected in book form.

~Thaddeus Rutkowski, Author of TETCHED and ROUGHHOUSE

Urban Haiku and More is Here!

For anyone who knows Patricia Carragon, this newest collection of short, mixed-media poems will surely delight — if not surprise. From the riotously humorous to the deeply poignant, Patricia covers the emotional terrain with her witty personality unfurled and a display of craft that, like a dancer, seems so effortless. If you love contemporary short verse, you’ll certainly savor these confections by a poet who is a spirited observer of the world around her and within her. –Brenda J. Gannam, Member, Haiku Society of America

Patricia Carragon hits the haiku right on the head – making it as much her form as the masters’ – Funny and deadly accurate – they stop you in your tracks – It’s no accident that she starts off with a Kerouac and Bashô haiku – She frees up the territory – Bashô’s frogs are replaced by bedbugs – Kerouac’s drugs are replaced by Viagra – very feminine with no holds barred – very astute and timely – a great read – guaranteed to free up your notions of what a haiku can’t or can do. –Hal Sirowitz – author of Father Said
