The book is very special. I am so impressed and thrilled. This unusual, comfortable approach is so refreshing. A biography. A history. I can really relate to it. The verses that I have read and the commentary will be so useful to most people and especially new-comers.
Poetic sincerity, honesty, and truth by Susumu Takiguchi
Delicate and yet resilient, the title of the book seems to reflect the author himself: Rustle of Bamboo Leaves. It is a collection of Victor P. Gendrano’s haiku and other forms of poems such as tanka, cinquain and sijo.
A very personal book, the anthology allows the reader to share the inner corners of emotions, thoughts and sensibilities with the author - intimacy, honesty and openness the like of which can only be obtained in special circumstances such as the Japanese konyoku (communal bath).
One word which could be chosen to dedicate to this special book is fuga no makoto (poetic sincerity, honesty and truth).
