without syntax is a short chapbook from a master of English language haiku, Lee Gurga. It's one of those collections where it's obvious to the reader that the poet enjoys the craft of writing.

The 18 poems collected between these covers vary widely in style and subject. There are one-line, vertical and visual haiku -- but no standard short-long-short three-liners. The chapbook is at times playful, whimsical and deadly serious. The poems flow easily from one to the next.

without syntax was an Honorable Mention for the 2021 Touchstone Awards. The chapbook can be purchased from the Modern Haiku Press website for a measly $3 plus $1 shipping (within the United States).
