Joyce Kilmer, the editor of this book, says in the introduction that "This is not a collection of devotional poems....What I have tried to do is to bring together the poems in English that I like best that were written by Catholics since the middle of the Nineteenth Century. There are in this book poem religious in theme; there are also love-songs and war-songs. But I think that it may be called a book of Catholic poems. For a Catholic is not a Catholic only when he prays; he is a Catholic in all the thoughts and actions of his life. And when a Catholic attempts to reflect in wors some of the Beauty of which as a poet he is conscious, he cannot be far from prayer and adoration.

"Self-Inflicted Misery", prepare to divulge into the mind of your average middle-aged family man. Written over many years of ups and downs, but all written from the heart. The author gives us a glimpse into the mind and heart of a poet searching for his voice, searching for the words that will help him express his inner most secrets, loves and fears. Meant as a map and a guide, the poems in this collection are not meant to garnish pity, sadness, or remorse, they are presented for your enjoyment and entertainment.

A poetry collection honoring the haiku—complete with poet biographies, translator commentary, and Japanese artwork This celebration of what is perhaps the most influential of all poetic forms takes haiku back to its Japanese roots. Beginning with poems by the seventeenth and eighteenth-century masters Basho, Busson, and Issa, the anthology goes all the way up to the late twentieth century to provide a survey of haiku through the centuries, in all its minimalist glory. The translators have balanced faithfulness to the Japanese with an appreciation of the unique spirit of each poem to create English versions that evoke the joy and wonder of the originals with the same astonishing economy of language. An introduction by the translators and short biographies of the poets are included. Reproductions of woodblock prints and paintings accompany the poems.
