Autumn Leaves Have Fallen - Brendan Byrne - Bog

This is a collection of verse modelled on the traditional Japanese tanka and haiku poetic forms. Covering themes ranging from love and parenthood, to the passing seasons and scenes from daily life, this collection seeks to use these ancient forms to speak into contemporary, yet universally human, experience. The collection is preceded by a brief introduction to tanka and haiku, their history, and literary significance.
