Love Poems from the Japanese
An introduction by the poet and translator Sam Hamill, the editor of this collection, and short biographies of the poets are included."--BOOK JACKET.
Love Haiku
An exquisite collection of love poems in a striking gift book format--published just in time for Valentine's Day. Haiku is celebrated as a concise form of poetry able to convey a singular moment with great clarity. While haiku most often depicts the natural world, when focused on the elements of love and sensuality, haiku can be a powerful vehicle for evoking the universal experience of love. In this elegant anthology, love is explored through beautiful images that evoke a range of feelings--from the longing of a lover to the passion of a romantic relationship. Written by contemporary Japanese poets as well as by haiku masters such as Basho, Buson, and Issa, these poems share not only the haiku poets' vision for love, but their vision of the poignant moments that express it.
Japanese Love Poems
Japan's most significant early anthology of poetry, the Manyoshu explores the many forms of love in the collection's more than 4,000 poems. This original selection of verses comprises the work of poets who write in a primitively vital and sensuous language, and their frequent experiments with form offer stimulating reading. Text is in English only.
Only Companion
Written by court princesses, exiled officials, Zen priests, and recluses, the 150 poems translated here represent the rich diversity of Japan’s poetic tradition. Varying in tone from the sensuous and erotic to the profoundly spiritual, each poem captures a sense of the poignant beauty and longing known only in the fleeting experience of the moment. The translator has selected these five-line tanka—one of the great traditional verse forms of Japanese literature—from sources ranging from the classical imperial anthologies of the eighth and tenth centuries to works of the early twentieth century.
Haiku Love
Haiku poems about the natural world and the seasons are well known, but many poets have also used the haiku genre to capture the fleeting human experience.
The Ink Dark Moon
These translated poems were written by two women of the Heian court of Japan between the ninth and eleventh centuries A.D. The poems speak intimately of their authors' sexual longing, fulfillment and disillusionment.

200 Haiku Love Poems
In this haiku love poem book, I am delivering an underlying message that is not only about romance and romantic love but even more, about the sacred feelings, perceptions, and sophisticated moods that deeper love creates. These poems perfectly express that spiritual and sweet aspect of love that we can find, sometimes, in a soulmate relationship. This collection of 3-line haikus is always a great moodsetter, and it is able to rekindle the flame of love, while clearly portraying that mystical joy of the heart that appears when two people are in love with each other.
A String of Flowers, Untied . . .
Expressions of passion and heartbreak, written by Murasaki Shikibu 1,000 years ago, transcend time and culture in this new translation of the poetry in the first 33 chapters of The Tale of Genji. It is the relationship between the novel's characters and the poetry that creates the beauty and sustained erotic tone of Lady Murasaki's story. For the first time, these 400+ poems are presented in the increasingly popular format of tanka (5-7-5-7-7), along with extended notes that reveal the hidden details and depth of meaning in Murasaki's real and fictional worlds.
