JUST ABOUT LOVE - Poems as Letters
" Friendship or love, in your hands and mine.
A story of an ordinary miracle, spun again and again,
as we find each other in this world again today.
If only I could hold it lightly and think,
ah, I see, just about love. That is the truth I want."
- from 'just about love'
Not to define what love is, but simply to live beside the love that is already here, as something ordinary. To think of someone, to hold yourself close, to cherish the moments that never quite become words. Sixteen poems to accompany the lovable days that are here with us today as well. Most of the poems are presented in both Japanese and English, and the book also includes poems originally written in English. Designed with postcards in mind, this book lets you tear out any page, write an address, add a stamp, and send it.
