## Resource

Today we're talking with Chad Boykin, author of Kaiju Haiku: A Haiku Comics Zine which is brand new from Jobber House Press, available now wherever you look for books. About the book: Japan is the land of giant monsters and tiny poems. Kaiju Haiku fuses these two cultural forces into one stunning full-color explosion! Remember the awe of discovering giant monster movies as a child? Imagine recapturing that magic. Experience the wonder one more time through stunning haiku set to surreal abstract comic book art. Each poem is a small exploration of kaiju cinema. A burst of nostalgia. A pop of insight. Lurking below the surface, they are also an invitation to slow down, to look twice. Mirrors disguised as windows. What will you see looking back at you? Then, like a burst of the fireball from outer space, the vivid kaleidoscopic comic art of Jason McBride explodes onto each page - transporting you to parts unknown. Kaiju Haiku is an art museum that fits into your pocket. A traveling companion. Reach for it anytime the ordinary becomes a little too ordinary. The giant monsters are waiting.
