Mare Liberum is a collection of haiku and tanka by Jacob Salzer inspired
by water and the sea. "Jacob Salzer has named this collection of haiku
and tanka Mare Liberum which translated from Latin means The Freedom of
the Seas. His poems throughout this collection are written with strong
undertones of the link between water and humans, our place within this
world of water we call Earth. Salzer captures the essence of haiku and
tanka, its fluidity like water itself, its lightness (karumi) and its
sense of place. This is a fine collection written by a seasoned writer
of short form poetry." -Brendon Kent, Head Instructor in English
