About the book

Submerged Structure explores the hidden architecture of human experience through the compressed, evocative language of haiku. Thomas L. Vaultonburg finds poetry in ordinary moments, unexpected juxtapositions, the natural world, and the strange intersections of memory, perception, and emotion. These poems invite readers beneath the visible surface of things, where seemingly insignificant details reveal deeper patterns of longing, impermanence, solitude, and connection. Moving between humor, melancholy, observation, and quiet revelation, the collection embraces both the traditional spirit of haiku and the possibilities of contemporary English-language experimentation. Submerged Structure is poetry for readers who appreciate the extraordinary concealed within the everyday.

His poetry has appeared in literary journals internationally, including Presence, Acorn, Kokako, and Wales Haiku Journal.

His poetry moves between humor, grief, nature, and the strange little revelations of everyday life. He continues to write, publish, and promote independent literature from Rockford, where he believes interesting things are happening whether anyone is paying attention or not.
