The book comprises love poems in Japanese and English, about half the book each, which were written separately, i.e. not translation of one into the other. They were composed in different stages of the author’s life. Some are based on facts but many others are fictitious and fashioned in the author’s imagination. However, even the latter have been derived partly from the observation of the author and the stories he has heard from his friends. Some were configured by mixing these different experiences.

Susumu Takiguchi is Chairman of the World Haiku Club and Managing Editor & Acting Editor-in-Chief of World Haiku Review. He is an artist, poet, haijin and essayist.
