Author Description

A stunning collection of haiku from prizewinning Nepalese haikuist Janak Sapkota. These gem-like texts are charged with a mystery that cannot be faked, a mystery that is evoked and perceived through the poet's relationship with the living earth and the spirit of nature itself. Long Days of Rain brings the moisture of true haiku to a genre which too easily slips into the aridity of jokey cleverness.
