Haikus of All Seasons XII: Flora (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798657285369)

This book is the twelfth anthology of the original haikus written by this author. The subjects for this collection embrace one of the seven major themes of haiku: flora. This volume is dedicated to the victims of the Covid-19 outbreak, especially those who fell victim as medical caregivers, doctors, and technical specialists combatting the pandemic. This book is also a tribute to George Floyd (October 1973-May 2020), who was killed by a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and other victims of racial injustice. This is a unique bilingual anthology and presents each haiku in both Japanese and English so that non-Japanese-speaking readers can fully appreciate it. In order to enhance understanding, the identification of the season word of the haiku-an essential element in haiku-as well as the brief cultural and historical backgrounds of the haiku are given where applicable. Enjoy!
