Haiku Hikes: Poetry in Motion on the Appalachian Trail

After changing careers, wandering around the world for a a year volunteering and getting embroiled in various adventures, Dawn Webster decided to continue exploring back home in the US with a 4.5 month hiking trip. A randomly received nickname, or trail name, transforms a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail to a bite-sized memoir in poetic form, uniting an interest in minimalism with the poetry she had abandoned more than a decade ago. What emerges is a humorous yet introspective romp through fourteen states of the Eastern US.
