Editing this book has given me a chance for a retrospective reflection of my writing. I knew then that I was experimenting with publishing for the first time--and I realize that I will be for the rest of my life, I am sure...
Since this is some of my earliest “professional” writing, I went into editing this expecting to cringe--and I got some, but I also left feeling impressed. I feel inspired after reading what my younger self was producing. I was studying a lot of interesting topics for the first time during this era and was obsessed with retaining the wisdom, by applying the insight.

| Cover for Elephant in the Room |
This Second Edition has been re-edited and re-formatted myself, and features an all-new cover by my wife April Salisbury-White. These tales of epic poetry and flash fiction now fit in perfectly with the rest of Project Trinity’s stories featuring the Overseer, Richard Abendsen and all the other telekinetic heroes from the far-future Sol and Zeus Systems.
HaikuPrajna’s poetry focuses on themes like stress, serenity, concentration and meditation, where Elephant in the Room at first details lessons gained while studying philosophies such as Buddhism, Hermeticism and Neoplatonism, before diverting into fictional adventures centered on these ideas.
The round of “./sumatranus” poetry, the section “On Dependent Origination” before it, and all the following fiction can be considered a prequel to the other stories seen in books like “Fishing for Caribou”, “The Wisps Book” and “FLUKE!”. These books have risen from the ashes of a lost project like a literal phoenix, where the cumulative effect was the Sumatranus story and continuing writing when all had been lost to the digital ether; I could have quit then, but here we are with all the stories that we have today.
