Frank Hamrick: "Harder than writing a good haiku features reproductions of seventeen tintype photographs created during travels through Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Tennessee. Each image initiates its own narrative that points in a particular direction but the story's ending is left to the viewer.

"The title is letterpress printed onto handmade cotton rag cover paper, while the edition number is letterpress printed onto the cotton rag end sheet of each book. The tea stains on the cover are inspired by the hills of Whites Creek, Tennessee, and the fight to protect the area from Nashville's encroaching development."
