Ghetto Girl Blue's Art Book with
Haiku Poetry by Jessica Holter
About this Book: Jessica Holter’s Art & Haiku Book: A Fusion of Poetry and Visual Art
Jessica Holter’s haiku poetry is beautifully complemented by colorful and captivating visual art from her “Art & Rhymes of Ghetto Girl Blue” Collection in “Ghetto Girl Blue’s Art Book.” This 100-page coffee table topper is not only a feast for the eyes but also a thought-provoking conversation starter. If you’re familiar with the poet’s work, you won’t find flowery fluff in her simple 5-7-5 lines; instead, you can expect the raw urban grit that the founder of The Punany Poets is known for worldwide.

Excerpts:
Pulpit Woman
Nose high, perfume loud
Woman, thou befoul pulpits,
Most beguiling minx,
Thy robe cannot shroud,
Thoughts lurking about thick hips,
Temptation betwixt.
No-Fly List
Fiery friendly skies,
We, too many, lost our wings,
When the towers fell.
