Publisher's Synopsis
Step into a beautiful farewell to poetry that forms the culmination of a decades-long love affair.
As the powerful conclusion to a 35-year-long love affair with poetry, this poignant book compiles author Brett C Persson's farewell to haiku, echoing with a bittersweet yet beautiful send-off to a passion that helped support him through his darkest moments. Weaving together timeless themes of nature, religion, joy, love, loss, death, and the key moments that shaped his life, this collection ranges over the breadth of human experience, bringing things full circle and serving as the starting point for new adventures into the world of literature. Through the minimalist and simplistic beauty of traditional Japanese haiku, this book captures passing thoughts and crystallizes them into vivid mental imagery, painting a portrait with every verse. With a dash of random haikus to lighten the mood and give readers some thought-provoking ideas to reflect on, The Ending of the Path teaches us that although all good things must come to an end, they often serve as the foundation for new and exciting directions. This collection is a heartfelt book that will soothe the souls of poetry fans, offering a fresh new perspective on experiences that the greatest poets have grappled with for generations.
