Late-Blooming Cherries
by Kynpham Sing Nongkynrih, Rimi Nath
English 236 pages 1 edition
Delicately weaving through life’s tapestry of love and loneliness, joy and grief, the verses in this long-awaited collection brilliantly showcase the exquisiteness of the haiku and senryu, allowing readers to embrace the beauty of each poetic moment. Exploring ‘the pragmatic and the metaphysical with humour, heartbreak, profound insight and a serious appreciation of language chosen for its precision and suggestiveness’, these poems traverse the whole gamut of human experience. Compiled and edited by accomplished haiku writers Kynpham Sing Nongkynrih and Rimi Nath, Late-Blooming Cherries features contributions from some of the most prominent haiku artists in India. True, in essence, to the meaning of ‘haiku’, or ‘pleasure verse’, and much like the late-blooming cherries of Shillong, this book–which invites readers to reflect on life, nature and human bonds–is meant to be savoured slowly.
