My review of Vanished Roads by Thomas L. Vaultonburg @wolftwinthomas.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/thesehai...

I'm honored by this thoughtful reading of Vanished Roads from Magedah Shabo. One of the greatest gifts an author can receive is knowing someone spent time with the work deeply enough to see the conversations between the poems. Thank you for your generosity and care.

I recently had the pleasure of reading Vanished Roads, a newly released haiku collection by Thomas L. Vaultonburg (@wolftwinthomas.bsky.social) featuring illustrations by Tre (@tregallery.com). I’ve shared a few thoughts below. Many thanks to Thomas for the review copy. #BookSky #haiku #poetry #ECK

A copy of Vanished Roads by Thomas L. Vaultonburg rests on a brown wooden desk beside a window. Afternoon sunlight and the shadow of a nearby houseplant fall across the desk.

The book has a pale blue cover featuring an illustration by Tré that invites multiple interpretations. 

What at first looks like a single broad tree begins to look like two columns of narrow trees, while what first appears to be an opening within the tree may instead be a distant path partially obscured by many intertwined roots.
