Un gato es un haiku / A Cat Is a Haiku is a bilingual collection of haiku that explores the quiet, mysterious presence of cats in our lives.In these brief and luminous poems, Elvia Ardalani captures fleeting moments - a paw crossing a room, the hush before dusk, the warmth of fur against the dark - revealing how a cat embodies the essence of haiku itself: attention, stillness, and revelation.Written in Spanish with English translations, this collection invites readers to slow down and inhabit the subtle poetry of everyday companionship. The cat is not merely a subject but a way of seeing - a breathing instant, a small universe of silence and motion.Tender, playful, and contemplative, Un gato es un haiku is an ode to presence - and to the animals who quietly teach us how to look.
