How easy it is to take for granted and overlook the everyday things that compose this life: from fresh blueberries for breakfast to the flannel pillowcases that make the winter nights of sleep more comfortable. In Sticky Notes Haiku, these seemingly ordinary and nearly invisible objects are moved to center stage where they can be acknowledged, seen and appreciated for their true significance. Along with that which we value most--friends, family, truth--these matter, too, and rightly deserve our attention. Especially in light of the pandemic, take a moment, look around, and cherish the little wonders that enrich and sustain your life.between morning tea& morning meditation waking up*open window -- the post-itsfluttering too*the living room clockstops telling time so do I*from onesticky note to another this life* no life is ever fully completea blooming and dying roseRobert Epstein, a psychotherapist living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area, is a haiku anthologist as well as a haiku poet.

Horace, the ancient Roman poet, declared that "every old poem is sacred." Whatever could he have meant by that? The contributors to this haiku collection pour forth their contemporary poetic response by calling our attention to unassuming moments in church and temple; meadow and mountain; on the train and on the trail; where they find their hearts brimming over with reverence, awe, wonder, silence, joy, affection and love. No moment or event is too fleeting or too small to embody the sacred; indeed, as the English poet William Blake famously observed, the universe itself may be found in a single grain of sand. There is even a place for doubt, uncertainty, sensuality and humor in a world that is infused with the sacred. Be the first to behold with the haiku poets in these pages the abundance of sweetness and holiness that surrounds us wherever we are, whatever our circumstances. In doing so your very life may become a blessing or a poem, as the test of time hallows the poetry here.

Chaucer's Gifts applies the theoretical approaches of economic anthropology to the Canterbury Tales, to show that in Chaucer's world the exchange of gifts is as prevalent as the purchase of commodities, and that social relations are as important as money and the market.

Part VI includes forays into artifical intelligence, child rearing, categorization research, and other topics, and Part VII takes the volume to some uncertain reflections on growing older, and to a modest proposal for a day of world peace.

Using late Medieval English literature the essays in this collection do not try to define a secular realm distinct and separate from the divine or religious, but instead analyze intersections of the sacred and the profane, suggesting that these two categories are mutually constitutive rather than antithetical.
