Synopsis
Haiku of cats, humans… or both.
Cats nap on laptops. Humans beg for coffee.
Both trip over the same silence.
This book gathers haiku, haibun, and haiga
(in sumi-e style) into one playful mirror of
daily life. Sometimes funny, sometimes sharp,
always recognisable.
Here, the cat is never only the cat,
and the human is never only human.
A perfect gift for cat lovers, poetry fans,
and anyone who lives with a little chaos.
“These poems purr, laugh, and scratch at
what it means to share life together.”
About NL Haiku
NL Haiku (1982) is a maker who captures life in small, sharp forms: haiku, haibun and haiga. With humor, empathy and a playful eye, I explore how cats and humans mirror one another in their daily rituals of chaos, longing, and rest.
Travel and other cultures feeds my imagination, but my favourite teachers are cats. Companions who remind me that curiosity, independence, and absurdity are universal. Lives in The Hague with a suitcase that’s always half-packed and a cat who edits by sitting on pages.
You & I is a debut collection: a witty and tender series of poems and sumi-e inspired images about recognition, difference and the strange familiarity of sharing life with another creature.
