"Although
I did not know the Tokutomis were such significant
people in the world of haiku, I still found the story of
their love, their hardships, their separation, and their
challenges to be presented in a way that enchanted,
captivated, and fascinated me. The book is nearly
impossible to put down." -BAIPA judge
|
| "A story
of healings, border crossings, cultural
cross-breeding ... in the form of letters that
are an intimate and moving portrait of a
marriage, as absorbing and delicate as a
Japanese novel or a film by Ozu.” |

—Robert
Hass, U.S. poet laureate, 1995-1997. |
