The proof copy of The Way to Vict’ry: Haiku Illustrated by Cristina Basile has arrived! It looks great, but the printed proof reveals a couple problems that can be fixed.
Perfection is possible on rare occasions. This is one.
The corrections are easily made, and the proofing process will require only a couple more days delay. I look forward to the release announcement around the middle of the week.
Keep a peregrine’s eye out for that, because I expect to launch with a special reduced price for the first few days.

Like samurai in battle;
Souls to heaven rise
The Way to Vict’ry is an ebook of three haiku inspired by Sun Tzu, Matthieu Ricard, and a magpie flight instructor.
Preface
In Sun Tzu’s Art of War, the fifth-century BC Taoist author likens the successful battle plan to a watercourse: it follows the path of least resistance to its objective.
Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard devotes a chapter of his book Happiness (Atlantic Books, 2012) to the ego. He suggests the ego, imposed as a shield, becomes a target, which attracts suffering.
These works inspired the first two haiku in this book.
And the magpie flight instructor? It’s one of a mated pair that makes its nest in the bay tree behind the house. The springtime garden is a cacophony of young magpies on flight training day.
In haiku form, the lessons are easier to retain. These three have become personal mantras.

Paris, France
Leap from a high branch;
Spread your wings to catch yourself.
– Magpie teaching flight
On a lazy day
A phrase pops into my head…
Work yields a haiku
