"You think you know zombies? You think you know haiku? Think again, friend. One by one, these mutant three-line creatures will take, as Emily Dickinson famously said of poetry, "the top of your head off." I've always been amazed at how Laura Martin's poems make me laugh and think at the same time. She cracks you up, and then she brings you right back to earth. For one, here's "The Lonely Zombie: " Her desire for a wild heart overlooked thefact he had no brains.Buy this book. I think it casts a curse on those who touch itand don't."-Bob Stanley, Sacramento Poet Laureate 2009 - 2012"Delightfully cheeky, hilarious, and poignant, Laura Martin's work of zombie haikus is a mash-up of clever fun. The perfect unique gift for the lover of the Undead!"-Katie McCleary, best-selling author and podcast host of NPR's The Drive"If you never imagine that haiku could be funny, you haven't read Laura Martin's haiku. The queen of zombie haiku, Martin's Haiku for the Undead is a delight, starting with simple poems in the classic form, then widening into longer pieces of chained haiku-many humorous, some reflecting on life in the suburbs, politics, menopause and the pandemic. Perhaps most delightful are the long titles that precede the tightly composed poetic gems, each one meant to be read aloud, tasted, chuckled over and savored."-Jan Haag, editor Amherst Writers & Artists Press"After reading Laura Marin's Haiku for the Undead, I'm still not sure I believe in Zombies, but maybe I do. Martin talks about them in such a sweet way they have to be real. She made me smile, think about things, wonder how many pieces I'm made of, and where they came from. Martin hides no hearts; she simply teases the reader of all we should know. She'll leave you feeling warm, understood, and glad you spent some time with her-I do."-Bill Gainer, author of A True Story (Used Poems, 2003 - 2021)

Ørkenens fortryllelse ”Måske burde vi drøfte, hvordan vi bedst griber sagen an,” foreslog Rachel. ”Jeg skal nok afholde mig fra at optræde som en elefant i en porcelænsbutik,” svarede sheiken med et lille smil. Et øjeblik var Rachel ude af stand til at sige noget. Sheiken smilede ikke meget, men når det skete, var det overvældende. Måske var det godt, at han var så alvorlig det meste af tiden – hvis han gik rundt og smilede, ville ingen få gjort noget som helst. Hun fattede sig og tog sig selv grundigt i skole. Det var hendes første gyldne regel som guvernante: Forelsk dig ikke i den mand, der har dig i sit brød. Men Rachel bliver forelsket, ovenikøbet i det lille ørkenrige Huriens hersker, sheik Malik, som er enkemand og helt i vildrede med, hvordan han skal tage sig af sine tre børn. Og i hvordan han skal forholde sig til børnenes tiltrækkende og livsglade nye engelske guvernante ...
