DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this book, the first of a series, Robin D. Gill, author of the highly acclaimed Rise, Ye Sea Slugs! and Cherry Blossom Epiphany, the largest single-theme anthologies of poetry ever published, explores the traditional Japanese New Year through 2,000 translated haiku (mostly 17-20c). "The New Year," R.H. Blyth once wrote, "is a season by itself." That was nowhere so plain as in the world of haiku, where saijiki, large collections called of ku illustrating hundreds, if not thousands of briefly explained seasonal themes, generally comprised five volumes, one for each season. Yet, the great doyen of haiku gave this fifth season, considered the first season when it came at the head of the Spring rather than in mid-winter, only a tenth of the pages he gave to each of the other four seasons (20 vs. 200). Was Blyth, Zen enthusiast, not enamored with ritual? Or, was he loath to translate the New Year with its many cultural idiosyncrasies (most common to the Sinosphere but not to the West), because he did not want to have to explain the haiku? It is hard to say, but, with these poems for the re-creation of the world, Robin D. Gill, aka "keigu" (respect foolishness, or respect-fool), rushes in where even Blyth feared to tread to give this supernatural or cosmological season - one that combines aspects of the Solstice, Christmas, New Year's, Easter, July 4th and the Once Upon a Time of Fairy Tales - the attention it deserves. With G.K. Chesterton's words, evoking the mind of the haiku poets of old, the author-publisher leaves further description of the content to his reader-reviewers. "The man standing in his own kitchen-garden with the fairyland opening at the gate, is the man with large ideas. His mind creates distance; the motor-car stupidly destroys it." (G.K. Chesterton: Heretics 1905)

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLife and love can be profoundly expressed in so many ways. And when that love is gone it can be expressed in a deep soulful way. It can put a thought on your mind that youre thinking about all day. It can make you want to cry a river or bay. Sadness can touch your heart and penetrate it until you cry. It can make you say: why oh why'. And it can make you sigh. Maybe it can even make you wonder if youre letting life pass you by. Joy can put a giant smile on your face, and lift your spirits high. When touched by inspiration it can stimulate you to change your outlook in life, or just the art of poetry can be a delightful form of entertainment. Laughter can put enchantment in to your heart when it encompasses you. Love can be expressed in so many ways. And when that love is gone it can make you cry for days, and days. Love isnt just something you feel. Its something you show. And as the years go by you watch it grow. Love can blind you or show you the way. Thats what I heard someone say. Inspiration is something you can never get enough of. Its sort of like love. When youre sad, and when your melancholy and blue, inspiration can be your glue. Sadness can be so profound. It can be expressed in ways that show how you feel down. Tears and fears can cause sorrow. It can make you ask someone for joy you can borrow. When youre low, and when youre down only your heart can feel how sad you see yourself as. It leaves you wondering if the feeling will pass. Opening this book is your journey down that road.
