Late-Blooming Cherries

Delicately weaving through life's tapestry of love, joy and grief, Late-Blooming Cherries: Haiku Poetryfrom India captures fleeting moments in the concise beauty of haikus and senryus. This long-awaited and first-ever anthology of haikus in English from India invites readers on a journey through hills, seas, and locked-down cities. From the tenderness of young love and small joys to the disease and despair of loneliness, from a child's bed to a grandmother's lap--the verses traverse the spectrum of human experience. Compiled and edited by renowned haiku writers Kynpham Sing Nongkynrih and Rimi Nath, the book features contributions from both emerging and accomplished haiku artists.
