    About this ebook

    This book presents, in the occidental sonnet, some shared views—from an oriental perspective. One might find in the sonnet an attractiveness that goes akin to the mathematically-inclined finding beauty in Einstein's field equations—or to kids finding fun in computer play. Early in the twentieth century, some of Britain's poets would take to the Japanese haiku; in reciprocal fashion, some writers in the Far East have found affirmative bias for the West's sonnet to these very days—and this compilation of the author's over 50 sonnets presents such a case.
