The Year of the Rat is the first animal in the Chinese zodiac cycle. This bilingual book, in English and Japanese, of haiku and senryu, delivers a poem-a-day, from 25th of January 2020 (1.XXV) to 11th of February 2021 (384.XI) and, therefore, comprises 384 micro poems. The cycle of the lunar years begins with the Rat. It is said that those animals signify what others perceive of what we are or how we present ourselves. The agricultural calendar (or the solar months) begins with the Tiger (the first animal of spring), and these animals, assigned by month, represent our inner selves.
Editorial Review
The latest poetry book The Year of the Rat by Daniela is quite remarkable and impressive in its range and profound emotion. This brilliant bilingual book in English and Japanese consists of extraordinary haiku and senryu written in simple language charged with beautiful intensity of imagination. Daniela started writing poetry in her teens. All poems in this collection are devoid of any ornamental phraseology. This is an indispensable collection of haiku and senryu for all poets and readers. |
