#shortpoemsunday A farmer's son, what did he know of war? A sniper's gun, a grave far away from home, a plaque on the chapel wall. (In memory of my mother's cousin, William John Evans, of Penuwch, Ceredigion, killed in 1944 and buried in Ranville War Cemetery. From 'Deep Roots, Wide Branches.)

Chin and Hough’s prose, haiku/senryu, art, and photography create poignant and evocative poems, exploring memory, love, loss, and natural disasters. One of my favourites was “It Was Hard to Say," a beautiful prose about loss ending in this haiku: a stolen kiss on a crowded street firecrackers
