Senryu (vol.1)  (English, Paperback, Noel Lorenz)

SENRYU Vol.1 is a collection of ‘human haiku’ or ‘senryu’ poems by Noel Lorenz. Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry. I have tried to extract the sweetness of haiku in this book and still stick to the short-long-short format. In my experience, the English and Japanese use the syllabic count differently. Whatever we write cannot be compared to the real count in Japanese 5-7-5. In this book, I have taken haiku to another level by allowing the free count. This book follows short-long-short verses. I have tried my best to stick to all other rules of haiku. Come to haiku with an open mind and allow it to set in.
