This collection is a set of 1600 pseudohaikus, bite-sized chunks of poetic goodness shotgunned at the distracted masses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat’s a pseudohaiku? It’s the poetry of pure indulgence, a three-liner without the constraint, the pretension or the 5–7–5 syllable form. The subject matter? Relationships, cats, insecurities – themes recur and build into a kind of non-linear narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese micropoems are easily digestible yet remarkably acute, a catalogue of scattered thoughts and pointed observations that go down like potato chips – betcha can’t read just one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes sexy, sometimes scandalous, sometimes sentimental, but always three lines long, these pseudohaikus are the future of poetry in a world awash with sound bites, news clips, catchphrases. There are no pleasures like the guilty ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sherwin Tjia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48308074676475,"sku":"9781552451533","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781552451533.jpg?v=1772484725","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-world-is-a-heartbreaker-9781552451533","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
