Some interesting poems. Maybe something lost in translation but not much. (

What a perfectly lovely collection of beautiful, romantic and sensual poems assembled in one adorable tiny book! I don't want to come across as a book marketer (I'm not, I swear), but please hear me when I say this is a wonderful little treasure for your special Valentine--are you hearing me gentlemen? Even if your special someone isn't really "into poetry", this gem is so exceptional it could change their mind--and yours. Seriously. Recommend, Recommend, Recommend! (
