- HUMOR General
A collection of more than one hundred very funny haiku (or honku), this book shines its brights on the dark side of America’s car culture. Distilling the daily horrors of driving, parking, and ordering from the drive-through into a time-honored and respected verse form, Honku transforms annoying moments behind the wheel into the stuff of poetry and will leave you in a state of enlightenment and bliss. Well, at the very least it’ll make you laugh.
A diverting read that may inspire you to pen your own haiku, Honku is the perfect fit for the glove compartment, to be pored over while you’re stalled in traffic on the interstate.

From the Back Cover
“A masterpiece of automotive zen. These poetic gems are mischievous, hilarious, and—at only seventeen syllables in length—extremely fuel-efficient. Run (don’t drive!) to your local bookstore.” —David M. Bader, author of Haikus for Jews and Zen Judaism

Shipping terms
Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2 pounds. Domestically, the cost to us may vary very little, and we don't bother you about the occasional extra $1.00 we pay for Media Mail, but internationally, costs vary widely, and we may be forced to contact you to request additional shipping charges, which may be substantial if your book is expecially heavy or large. We always include packing slips, in order to discourage drop-shippers violating Abe's terms.
