I Get The Feeling When This is Over I’ll Still Avoid Most People

What did you do in two years working from home? Learned French? Rewatched The Sopranos? Bruno wrote haikus. And while that’s not remarkable, laughing through a two-year-long lockdown, seventeen syllables at a time, is fun.

Through nearly three hundred haikus, Bruno takes us back to the events of 2020-22 that we all lived through as well as some more personal episodes, including a mild-ish but shocking bout with covid itself and many other life changes.

This is not the haiku poetry of your grade school classroom: written in the form of text messages, these humorous short poems read like a friend texting you clever and witty jokes late at night or on your way to work.

I Get The Feeling When This is Over I’ll Still Avoid Most People is Bruno Pieroni’s second book of haikus after Admit It Japan, You Love It When a Foreigner Struggles With Chopsticks.
