Yet, Uejima Onitsura, a younger contemporary of Bashō, the father of Japanese haiku poetry, emphasized 400 years ago the central importance of \u003ci\u003emakoto\u003c\/i\u003e or sincerity in this brief art form. In light of the overemphasis on artifice and the surreal in contemporary Enlglish-language literature and poetry, sincerity appears more urgently needed than ever. Aligned with virtue, truth and trustworthiness, let sincerity be our touchstone and guiding star, personally, interpersonally, poetically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Epstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798316298921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.31d","brand":"Robert Epstein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49166995980543,"sku":"9798316298921","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sincerely-yours-robert-epstein-9798316298921","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
