Book excerpt: Born in New York City, we moved to New City (Rockland County), New York, in 1958. We are members of the International Society of Poets, the Academy of American Poets, the New York Poetry Forum and the Rockland County Haiku Society. We have been published in many national and international anthologies. There is a CD of our poetry, and we have been on the internet at Rocklandworldradio.com. Jeanne received an award for first place in the Mainichi Daily News of Tokyo, Japan, for her haiku poetry, and we have been featured readers in New York and New Jersey. Our poetry is many faceted. It is about our lives, our home, nature, current events and even about grandchildren. We conduct readings at the northern Metropolitan Nursing Home in Monsey, New York, and the Castle Point Veterans Hosprtal in Beacon, New York. We have helped to create a Krystallnacht Program at the Holocaust Museum and Study Center in Spring Valley, New York. We have helped to teach a poetry class at the Bergen Community College in Paramus, New Jersey. We have a novella and eight books of poetry. We are working on our ninth book of poetry and a play. Our poetic autobiography seems so short. Everything is written in one paragraph. Now thirty-five years later we can reflect on our beginning writing poetry. An autobiography so short and so is life. We have two children and three grandchildren, along with five cats over the years. We have traveled to Israel, Spain, Italy, and England, and been published in many national and international anthologies.

Book excerpt: Somewhere over the Fragrance of Linden Trees Mr. Radu Şerban is one of the most representative Haijin in Europe who grasped the spirit of HAIKU. He always says that the simple transplant of HAIKU from Japanese to other languages is not desirable. Yes, we should not do so by only imitating the format of Japanese HAIKU. But we, all people of the world, are able to share the very spirit of HAIKU, in essential meaning. One of the most important spirit of HAIKU is the coexistence of people with nature, moreover the assimilation of them. And another one is the quintessence of simple poetry-haiku. Mr. Radu Şerban says, the “simplicity” gives the power to survive in this increasingly sophisticated world and the power to unite each other in this incredibly alienated society. Yes, HAIKU has the potential to resist these tendencies of the modern world. I can find Mr. Şerban’s spirit of HAIKU everywhere in this book of poem “Reflections.” I opened a page indiscriminately, then found the page fulfilled with fragrance of linden trees. For me fragrance of linden is “the sign of Erewhon.” strong fragrance's arm above the linden tree's crown knocks at my window. The simple strong words can make realistic imagination to the reader, we can say “Look! here is the HAIKU spirit.” Then, I opened another page. To my surprise, there happened to appear a linden Poem again. As if they are playing in a miniature, several bees are swarming, dancing and singing summer coming songs. swarming in round dance the bees and linden flowers– droning fragrances. To paint a miniature by a simple shining word is an unmistakable method of HAIKU. Indeed, Mr. Radu Şerban must be a humble member of Basho’s diaspora in the world! Tousen Nishiike President of Himawari Haiku Association, Japan
