Haiku, Ew! Celebrating the Disgusting Side of Nature

This collection contains fourteen haiku about the less tidy parts of nature. Its poems turn to subjects such as whale gas, how lobsters urinate, the source of honey, and flamingos that cool themselves by defecating on their legs. Rather than focusing on flowers or sunsets, the book presents bodily functions and animal behavior as its subject matter. Each poem approaches the natural world through details that are intentionally gross or surprising.
