Just Breathe is my seventh book of poetry, which includes two Haiku & Senryu books. This is my first book of all micro-poems. I love the challenge of telling a complete story in as few words as possible like a breath of fresh air. It allows the imagination to fill in the details and paint its own picture.

Welcome to my ninth book of poetry, and my first chapbook. Being a chapbook, all the poems are themed to fit the title, No More Hallelujahs, remembering past glory and losing it to the present times. Some of it is deep and heart wrenching, but hopefully also enlightening, and a reminder that we all have something to be thankful for, something to lose if we cease to keep it close to us. Memories are powerful gifts to each of us. I want to thank everyone who has supported me and helped me along the way, especially my husband Karl and my son Damon. Please enjoy the journey!Namaste!

In moments of warmth and echoing heartbreak Christine Tabaka explores our lives with insight and intimacy. Touching tenderly both our memories of joy and bitterness, then expressing that insight in a way that makes it impossible not to be drawn in by the emotional journey in "Pondering the Shoreline of Existence". You won’t be able to stop yourself from turning the page! .- Elaine Marie Carnegie-Padgett, authorTabaka reflects upon her life as she comes to a new age in a year filled with tragedy. She ponders her existence in a time where so much is changing. These pieces accompanied by photographs tell stories of pain and how one continues after loss.Tim Heerdink, author of Razed Monuments, The Human Remains, and Red Flag and Other PoemsThis is poetry from the friend who understands your pain and your joy, because she has felt them both; who shares her dreams, and takes you on her journeys, both real and imagined, because being alone isn’t a desired option; and who reminds us all of our humanity and the universal need to give and receive love.- Steve Carr, author

Reaching for Dawn is my sixth book of poems, which includes two books of Haiku & Senryu style poems. As my life has changed with age, my style has changed, and hopefully grown, since I first started writing rhymes and musings in the 1960's. I now see the universe on a deeper level than I did in my youth. Once again, I hope that you enjoy the journey as you travel with me into the inner depths of my observations, my mind, and my feelings. Maybe you will find a little of your own thoughts and feeling in my words as you read along.

A book of Modern & Traditional style Haiku & Senryu and original sketches.
