'Haiku Milieu, Photo and Haiku for you, Everywhere You Are, Volume 2' is the second book in the acclaimed Haiku Milieu series. The book features more than 120 full-color photos and haiku illuminating the extraordinary in the ordinary world.

'Reckoning,' Bienemann's first-ever, 3.5 x 4" tiny book, is a collection of more than 100 haiku that specifically address the difficulties of daily living, and features her ink drawings. "Enchanting and powerful," says Emily Ann Peterson, author of Bare Naked Bravery.

Haiku Milieu Virtu-Concert: Duos features the work of more than 30 artists inspired by Haiku Milieu Volume 2 and Reckoning. Jenny and Robin Bienemann co-host the virtual concert event. "Finding the extraordinary in the everyday is our mission," say the Bienemanns. "We've found that collaborating with other artists creates startling new work, restores our sense of wonder, and fosters a diverse creative community."
