  • Joseph J. Truncale
    5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful and enjoyable book on love using the Japanese haiku poetic form.
    Reviewed in the United States on 9 September 2016
    First off, this is a HAIKU POETRY BOOK NOT A NOVEL, which means the above requested comments just do not apply. I enjoy reading several kinds of poetry but my two favorite forms are haiku and senryu. When I saw this beautifully illustrated 96 page hardback cover book (Haiku Love edited by Alan Cummings) I immediately purchased it on Amazon for a bargain price.

    This fantastic book focuses on haiku poetry (and Senryu poetry) that relates to the many facets of love. There is an interesting introduction explaining the Japanese haiku and senryu development. This volume is organized into the three states of life: Youth, Middle age and Old age. There is also biographical notes, a further reading section, sources of translations and credits. The thing which makes this book unique is the beautiful Japanese full color historical illustrations along with the poems on each page.

    The following are examples of a poem from each of the cycle of life (Youth, Middle age and old age). The beginning “Youth” section begins with a poem from Boncho: “So varied and ever-changing love.” One of the beautiful poems of the middle age section is as follows: “Burning mosquitos in the concubine’s bedchamber erotic whispers” by Kikaku. This is one of the poems in the old age section. “With few words husband and wife part – autumn nightfall” by Sugita Hisajo.

    If you love haiku and senryu poems which includes beautiful color Japanese illustrations this book is for you.

    Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Zen Poetry Moments: Haiku and Senryu for special occasions).
