Grit, Grace and Gold : Haiku Celebrating the Sports of Summer

Original, contemporary haiku celebrating the sports and athletes of the Olympics - from an acclaimed poet and an international gallery of guests.

Award-winning haiku poet Kit Pancoast Nagamura offers a collection of original poems that explore the beauty, physical effort, and essence of all the sports of the summer Olympics.

In this volume, the first to cover such a wide range of athletics, each Olympic sport is represented by three haiku written by Nagamura, plus one or two by a guest poet.

Each poem is presented in both English and Japanese.

Evocative photographs and illustrations complement the text.
