Love haiku - Patricia Donegan

An exquisite collection of love poems in a striking gift book format--published just in time for Valentine's Day.


Haiku is
celebrated as a concise form of poetry able to convey a singular moment
with great clarity. While haiku most often depicts the natural world,
when focused on the elements of love and sensuality, haiku can be a
powerful vehicle for evoking the universal experience of love.

In this elegant anthology, love is explored through beautiful images
that evoke a range of feelings--from the longing of a lover to the
passion of a romantic relationship. Written by contemporary Japanese
poets as well as by haiku masters such as Basho, Buson, and Issa, these
poems share not only the haiku poets' vision for love, but their vision
of the poignant moments that express it.
