Publisher's Synopsis
This is an anthology of original haikus written by students and alumni of Princeton University, as a result of the Haiku Workshop for the academic year 2019-2020, hosted by the University's Japanese Students Association (JSA). This collection is special, being published during the unprecedented outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, and includes many poignant and reflective haikus capturing the sentiments of the students, who had to leave the campus in mid-March on short notice and have since been coping with the adversity. This book presents each haiku in both Japanese and English so that non-Japanese-speaking readers can fully appreciate them. Enjoy!
