Following William Ogden Haynes' first successful collection of poetry Points of Interest this new book contains fifty poems and five short stories most of which have been previously published in literary magazines. Uncommon Pursuits brings his work from disparate journals into a single collection. Each poem and short story shares a tinge of the uncommon, whether it is the topic, the unfolding of the tale or the way it ends. As in his first collection, Uncommon Pursuits presents poetry and stories that are accessible to all readers, whether they are seasoned poets or those who have never enjoyed this genre before.
