Description
Haiku Love by Alan Cummings explores the universal emotion of love through elegant and restrained haiku poems, lively senryu poems, and beautiful illustrations from Japan's renowned collection of paintings and prints. This anthology brings together poems by men and women from the 1600s to the present day, offering a range of perspectives on romantic love with humour, satire, wit, and compassion. The book presents a diverse selection of haiku and senryu poems that comment on the complexities of human emotions, from tender and melancholic to witty and ribald. The accompanying images add depth and nuance to the poems, providing a unique insight into the ways in which love has been expressed and experienced across cultures and centuries. With its unique blend of poetry and art, Haiku Love offers a fascinating exploration of one of humanity's most enduring emotions.
