E42A - A Passion for Cherry Blossoms / Senryū

Today, we finally have the cherry blossom book we have been waiting for and so we are going to delve into the life of Collingwood Ingram and see how his passion for Japanese cherry blossoms formed, his later realisation that they were dying in Japan and his want to save them. And for the poem today we are going to start learning of a poetic form known as Senryū. ~ Review us over on: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podchaser⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
