Haiku in the EU


Herman Van Rompuy's day job is president of the European Council--so he's more or less the president of the European Union. But after the day's travails, he likes to unwind by composing haiku, 17-syllable poems. His efforts have been collected into a book, which came out this month. To better reach Europeans of all stripes, the poems were published in English, French, Dutch, German and Latin. For the Pope, I guess.

Details are here.--David E
