    About this ebook

    Among The Wasps Silence is the first haiku collection by Eduardo Ribeiro. Here are gathered, within Zen threads, twelve dozen haiku of classic inspiration in homage to a tradition ranging from Basho to Santoka. However, haiku, as poetry, as Zen, are alive so don ́t be surprised to find cars and plastic amidst flowers and cuckoos or a, sometimes dark, sense of humour twisting nature contemplation.
