The winner of The Blasted Tree's sixth flash haiku contest, held on social media over Labour Day long weekend, is Rob Taylor! We've published the haiku into 2.5" x 2.5" mini-leaflets in a limited run of 75 copies. Rob’s poem was selected for it’s simple, domestic imagery, unfolding across generations through currents of life, death, and primordial language. Copies of the haiku are available from The Blasted Tree Store on granite-grey paper.
