One thing that mattered in making Vanished Roads was creating a whole book, not simply a collection of haiku. From Tré’s cover and illustrations to the sequence of the poems, it follows a journey from darkness and loss toward light and renewal. Everything was designed to tell the same story. #books
Cover of Vanished Roads by Thomas L. Vaultonburg, illustrated by Tré. A towering gray-blue tree frames a luminous path leading through a dark forest toward an opening in the distance. Blue leaves drift across the foreground. The cover is accompanied by Michael Dylan Welch’s praise: “Well-designed haiku collection by a poet who was mostly new to me. Enjoyable patience.”

“These poems have a muscular simplicity without sacrificing depth.” “They are accessible without becoming simple, sophisticated without becoming complicated.” “There is a weight that the artist refuses to succumb to, a tempered joy.” -Pippa Phillips www.wolftwin.com/product-page... #books

VANISHED ROADS | Wolftwin
In the aftermath of personal upheaval, pandemic isolation, and profound change, Thomas L. Vaultonburg turned to haiku and Soto Zen as a way of navigating a world that had suddenly become much smaller....

Here’s the first glimpse of SECOND NATURE, our Fall ArtScene collaboration at Rockford Art Deli. Michael Zant’s salvaged metal animal sculptures meet my Prairie Zen haiku. A benefit for Wild Roots. Discarded metal. Wild lives. Second chances. Oct. 2–3, Rockford. #haiku #sculpture
Salvaged-metal animal sculpture by Rockford artist Michael Zant, created from reclaimed and repurposed metal parts. The sculpture is part of SECOND NATURE, a Fall ArtScene exhibition at Rockford Art Deli pairing Zant’s salvaged-metal wildlife sculptures with original Prairie Zen haiku by Rockford poet Thomas L. Vaultonburg. The collaborative exhibition celebrates native animals, creative reuse, and the possibility of finding new life and meaning in discarded materials. SECOND NATURE is a benefit for Wild Roots, a Rockford-area organization that raises awareness of the Illinois Prairie.
