About the Book

FOR TWENTY YEARS, Robert Henry Poulin's poetry has electrified readers with its power, imagery and emotion. Now comes Poulin's first collection of haiku and other forms in The Last Leaf Decides, poems of the moment which he published in literary outlets in the 1990s while his wife suffered from and ultimately lost her battle with breast cancer. Presented in startling simplicity, with each poem highlighted on its own page to allow the reader singular focus and connection, The Last Leaf Decides will take you through one man's emotional cataclysm-from the joy of finding true love, into the despair of watching his beloved waste away and perish, to the struggle with how to feel again. Through it all, Poulin maintains the style and insight that have made him a unique storyteller in the world of poetry. Full of vivacity, even in sorrow, The Last Leaf Decides will leave you breathless at the power of the human spirit to rise again after the most crushing of losses.

About the Author :
Robert Henry Poulin is an award-winning poet whose haiku, senryu and tanka have been published in some of the world's leading literary journals and have received accolades from many of the forms' most-respected editors and scholars. A native of Maine, Mr. Poulin began his writing career in the United States Army, when several of his articles from his base in post-war Korea appeared in Stars and Stripes. After a brief stint in the newspaper business, Mr. Poulin turned to poetry. Years of declined submissions led to his first publication, in Modern Haiku, in 1993. Since then, his works have appeared not only in American forums but internationally-in foreign newspapers, on the sides of Japanese tea cans, and as technical examples in haiku educational books. He is a past winner of Modern Haiku's "Best of Issue," as well as a frequent contributor to The Mainichi, the English edition of Japan's major Mainichi Shimbun newspaper. He was also the editor and publisher of Seaoats, a haiku journal. Mr. Poulin lives in Florida. For daily poems and insights into poetry writing, follow him on Twitter at @roberthpoulin.
