tenement landscapes: English language haiku by an American poet

By Paul David Mena

This is a collection of haiku written by an American poet, Paul David Mena, with the Japanese translation; a bilingual book. "tenement landscapes" is Paul's first book in which he cut out and described the landscapes of New York and people's daily life seen through tenement houses, lightly and sometimes cynically. The first edition of this book was published in September, 2001, just after September 11. The author says, "I was raw with emotion and frankly had a tough time writing about it." But he was able to look at the event objectively and could finally write about it, New York, again. We added a haiku which he wrote after the event, in December 2010, in this book.(This book is edited and produced by Web Press Happa-no-Kofu, non-profit translation project and literary and art publisher since 2000, based in Japan.)
