Haiku for Lovers

With purity of vision and an economy of words, haiku poetry perfectly captures the richness and beauty of true love. This exquisite anthology features the work of poets -- both ancient and modern -- from all around the world. Love is the most complicated and yet the simplest of emotions.

Arranged in accordance with the natural unfolding of a relationship, these evocative poems contain at their essence a heartfelt moment of love. From the heady first flush of romance, to growing familiarity, and finally the ultimate serenity of deep and enduring devotion, each haiku encapsulates the spirit of true love. This beautifully illustrated anthology features 250 carefully chosen poems from a selection of the best haiku poets in the world, as well as translations from much-loved Japanese masters.
