My dearest followers, I wish you a beautiful and magical November.
The purpose of this post is two fold:
- A poem by me
- An exciting update on Haiku and Tanka: Lull, Harmony, and Power in Japanese art by Hikari and Gabriela Marie Milton.
Let’s start:
November Hues by Hikari and Gabriela Marie Milton
Somewhere in Northern Europe – My Photo
In November’s breath, the law of beauty sleeps — a hush of gold dissolving into dusk.
Even the dying light adorns the world, as if farewell itself was made of grace.
An update on Haiku and Tanka: Lull, Harmony, and Power in Japanese art.
Literary Revelations is pleased to announce that Haiku and Tanka: Lull, Harmony, and Power in Japanese Art by Hikari and Gabriela Marie Milton is scheduled for publication at the beginning of December, just in time for Christmas presents. Please read more about the book and perspectivism in art HERE. If you go to that post, you will also have the possibility to write haiku or tanka on a new fabulous picture by Hikari.
Thank you, everyone, and I will see you soon!

I just checked out the sample on Amazon. It looks good – both of them, and it’s been a long time since I had a dose of good poetry, so I have purchased them now. Look forward to reading!
Thank you so much. But this book in not out yet. As i said it’s coming in December. What did you buy?
Passions and Woman … and I will keep an eye out for the new one when it is there! I just bought the e-books since they are very good offers, but it will give me a nice impression of your work. Then I can always get the paper version of the new one!
Oh, I see Christopher. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. That is so generous of you. Those books are publish by another publisher. I do not get royalties. All royalties go to charities. So thank you once again for buying. I hope you will like them.
Sorry to hear that. I bet it is … complicated as they say? Well, when I get to them I will leave a review for what it’s worth! What I just skimmed resonated quite a lot…
You have nothing to be sorry about. I donate to charities money and books all the time. I truly hope you will enjoy them! Thank you for offering to write reviews on Amazon. Have a great rest of the weekend!
PS I actually think it’s a very lovely idea to use one’s work to give to charities. I just read “no royalties” and had a bit of an instinctive reaction to that. But I read your comment again and maybe all is well, and I just initially read into it that there had been some kind of problem …
NO, absolutely no problem. That has been my decision.
Check. I have reviewed “Woman” on Goodreads and left stars for “Passions”. They were very resonant reads and and really wish I could just put a 10th of that depth and intensity into my own prosefrom time to time when it would be right to do it. Anyway, I’ll keep an eye out for what’s coming and also dip my toes in your other work when I have the time.
such a beautiful poem and Congrats on this wonderful update! xx
