These poems reveal a different perspective on the world we experience through technology and politics. When turmoil and chaos rule, poetry offers deeper meaning and expands our view of interdependence by reflecting on the healing world of nature. These nature-based poems have an organic conversational style, enhanced by the aesthetic beauty and meditative value of elegant Japanese kanji throughout.
