VANISHED ROADS

REVIEWS

Vanished Roads

"Well-designed haiku collection,"

"Enjoyable patience."
 —Michael Dylan Welch

"The collection is observant, humane, quietly humorous and emotionally intelligent."

​

“Vanished Roads is an immensely satisfying collection that rewards both casual reading and close study.”

“In an era when so much short-form poetry can feel interchangeable, Vanished Roads possesses something rarer: a coherent artistic personality.”

“Highly recommended.” 
 
—Sean Wright

“Vaultonburg has masterful touch as well, readers will admire his succinct whisperings.”

“He not only sees, he inhabits the object along his journey.”
 —Mark Tate

“This is truly some of the most recent memorable poetry I’ve experienced in years.”

“40 years and thousands of poems later, it’s hard to recapture the joy that I felt in that classroom of my first favorite poem, and yet, Thomas Vaultonburg has handed me that joy again with Vanished Roads.” 
 —Melanie Medved

“In Vanished Roads, loss and grief are less like endings and more like thresholds to discovery.”

​

"Reading Vanished Roads has left me with the sense that there is still more to discover and say 'yes' to, both in haiku and in the world around us." —Magedah Shabo

“What Vaultonburg can do with merely four words is impressive and enviable!”

“Vaultonburg's best efforts can comfortably rest alongside those of other haiku masters, such as Basho and Issa.” 
—Conrad Sienkiewicz
