| Publisher Description: Nineteen poets belonging in the free Association 'Poets Unite Worldwide', have taken part in this compilation of 225 senryū Bahareh Azad, Iran/Canada; Abhilasha Bhatt, India; Tom Billsborough, UK; Chito Faustino, USA; Fabrizio Frosini, Italy; Afrooz Jafarinoor, Iran; Farzad Jahanbani, Iran; Bless Mycho Jamil, The Philippines; Srijana KC Rayamajhi, Nepal; Joji Varghese Kuncheria, India/Oman; Konstantinos Lagos, Greece; Aron Cheruiyot Lelei, Kenya; Mj Lemon, Canada; Kenneth Maswabi, Botswana; Souren Mondal, India; Anzelyne Shideshe, Kenya/Germany; Kim Alan Solem, USA; Haoran Tong, China; Savita Tyagi, USA. *** Being us -the humans- the target of senryū poetry, the poet often places himself/herself at the center of the stage lights, as in the following: -- "PhD student / I feel postmodern / a human robot" (Bahareh Azad) -- "breathless, / I buy a pack of cigar / with a health warning" (Bless Mycho Jamil) An important issue in all human societies, violence against women, is outlined in the following senryū, where the female character does not accept to undergo violence: -- "she fought like tigress, / steady in savage attack... / spouse wakes up bandaged" (Chito Faustino) . Many senryū are chosen and arranged according to the different situations (themes like sexual matters, family relations, politics, and so on), in order to offer the reader a sort of narrative.
