Haiku Japanese Art & Poetry
How beautiful is this, our new Book Haiku presenting 35 pairs of poems and images, organised seasonally.
The strictest and purest of poetic forms, the Japanese haiku contains in its seventeen sound characters a reference to a season as well as a distinct pause or interruption. Cherry blossoms and swallows might refer to spring; red maple leaves and deer usually imply autumn. These seasonal allusions emphasize the essence of haiku: nature and its ephemeral beauty.
The graceful, evocative haiku featured here were composed by the renowned Japanese haiku masters of the past four hundred years, including Matsuo Bashō, Taniguchi Buson, and Kobayashi Issa. The deceptively simple poems—rendered in English with Japanese calligraphies and transliterations—are paired with exquisite eighteenth- or nineteenth-century paintings and ukiyo-e prints and twentieth-century shin hanga woodcuts from the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Canada. With their depth and delicacy, wide range of subtle hues, and time-honored focus on landscapes, birds, and flowers, these artworks—like their haiku counterparts—quietly capture a moment in time.
Haiku: Japanese Art and Poetry presents thirty-five pairs of poems and images, organized seasonally. The Introduction details the origin and development of haiku, the lives of the most famous poets, and the obstacles faced when translating the concise yet complex lines.
By authors Judith Patt, Michiko Warkentyne, and Barry Till.
80 pages with 35 color reproductions. Size: 8 x 8".
Hardcover smyth-sewn casebound book, with jacket.

Super Plant
Super Plant [1995]Fred Tomaselli
"I want people to get lost in the work. I want to seduce people into it and I want people to escape inside the world of the work. In that way the work is pre-Modernist. I throw all of my obsessions and loves into the work, and I try not to be too embarrassed about any of it. I love nature, I love gardening, I love watching birds, and all of that gets into the work. I just try to be true to who I am and make the work I want to see. I don’t have a radical agenda."

The Awdrey-Gore Legacy
What do these have in common?
1. St Spasmus' Day
2. A Nameless poacher
3. A guilt ballroom chair
4. Suthick & Upters Auction Rooms ...
....they are all featured in the Introductionary Notes of the Awdrey Gore Legacy by Edward Gorey, a shiny new book from Pomegranate
"The smallest clue may be [or not] the one to give away the plot'
the Ipsiad, can 1
Miss D. Awdrey-Gore, renowned 97-year-old writer of detective stories, is found murdered; then a mysterious hidden packet is discovered. Addressed to her publisher, it contains what appear to be notes and drawings related to a literary work in progress. The contents “in their entirety—though certain things are patently missing” comprise clues about the who, what, when, where, and how of Awdrey-Gore’s demise. Or do they? Edward Gorey takes us on a rollicking ride in this merry murder mystery, but whether or not the killer is revealed is open to speculation.
Like his fictional dame novelist, Gorey (1925–2000) was a prolific author. Creator of more than one hundred works, he was also an artist, playwright, award-winning set and costume designer, and creator of the animated introduction to the PBS series Mystery! First published in 1972, The Awdrey-Gore Legacy remains one of Gorey’s most treasured tales, satisfying the sleuth in each of us.
64 pages with more than 50 colour and black-and-white Gorey drawings.
Size: 8 1/2 x 6".

Rhys Road Test's the big book of Pheremone
8 year old Rhys Hayden road tests Pomegranate's big hardback book Pheromone!
He may only be 8 but Rhys knows a thing or 80 about insects and so we sat him down and asked him to road test our Pheromone book. At first he was a little quiet but his face was full of wonder and surprise at the beautiful page layouts of Christopher Marley's jaw dropping work. Then the ooh's and aghhh's came on strong, Rhys was sold and gave it 10 out of 10, the thumbs up we wanted AND, just to let you know, that Road Test Rhys already knew some of the technical names for the insects which really impressed us at Pom.
Thanks Rhys.
This book presents the compositions of Christopher Marley: assemblages of real insect bodies that display brilliant colour and otherworldly form. The colours are entirely natural, and to render the reproductions as accurate as possible some have been reproduced with fifth-colour metallic inks and highlighted with spot varnish.
Accompanying the broad sample of Marley’s work is a series of essays by the artist: “Design of Insects,” “Insects in Design,” “History,” “Color,” “The Coleoptera Mosaics: An Exercise in Color,” “Repetition,” “Structure,” “Texture,” “Variations,” “Botanicals,” “Size,” and “Environmental Effects.”
Christopher Marley was born in Covina, California, and grew up near Salem, Oregon. At 19 years old, he began his travels while serving as a missionary for two years in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. Upon his return, he balanced studying design at Brigham Young University with extended sabbaticals to work both on and off camera for scores of fashion brands such as Donna Karan, Gucci, and Giorgio Armani. Over more than a decade, his assignments to dozens of countries in Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas spawned a passionate drive to share the unending variety of surprising natural artifacts with an unsuspecting public through his artwork. In addition to insects, his mediums of design include fossils, minerals, botanicals, bones, and sea life. His work has been featured in numerous magazines and is sold through hundreds of galleries, stores, and showrooms in the United States and abroad.
256 pages, with more than 170 colour photographs and indexes of artworks and specimens, both by common and scientific names.

Endangered Places Knowledge Card Deck
The Earth is forever changing:
The Earth is forever changing. An age of ice is succeeded by drought—and then another ice age. Sporadic mass extinctions seem to threaten life itself. At the dawn of the twenty-first century, the forces of change seem to have conspired: deserts are spreading, cities and farms are gobbling down open spaces, seas are rising. To cope with an increasing number of endangered places, local and international efforts have included evacuating low-lying islands, diverting water flows, and encouraging eco-tourism. This deck of 48 quiz cards surveys the globe, from the Great Barrier Reef to the Amish farmlands of Pennsylvania, testing your knowledge and teaching you all about the threatened regions of the Earth.
Text by Matthew S. Tharp.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this product supports Sierra Club’s efforts to preserve and protect the planet.

Knowledge Card Deck Week: Rocks & Minerals
Day 2 of our New Knowledge Card Deck week:-
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ROCKS, MINERALS, AND GEMS?
Quiz Deck
Pristine diamonds, radiant rubies and sapphires, and other gorgeous gems captivate us with their extraordinary beauty and brilliance. But beyond their aesthetic appeal, the gems, minerals, and rocks of the world are essential to our very existence; they are the building blocks of the universe. This quiz deck presents a well-rounded sampling of mineral lore in a Q&A format, with a question—often accompanied by a color photograph—on the front and the answer on the back of each of the forty-eight cards. Together they offer a fascinating tour of the mineral kingdom, from the legendary Hope Diamond to corals and cultured pearls, dazzling crystalline caves, and the mysterious sarsens of Stonehenge.
Sample Card TextAmber, jet, coral, shell, pearl, and ivory are collectively known as what?
Answer Organic gems. These are all formed by or from living matter. Amber is fossilized tree sap; jet is a type of coal formed from ancient plant matter. Coral and shells are the exoskeletons of certain marine organisms, and pearls are concretions formed by certain shelled mollusks. Ivory is dentine formed by different mammals but is most commonly elephant tusk.

Shop of the Month: Hus & Hem
This Month's shop of the month is Scandinavian retailer "Hus & Hem," a fairly new account to Pomegranate, but in the few months we've been dealing with them they've seen great success in some of our most beautiful product ranges....
"Hus & Hem means house and home in Swedish, a suitable name for a shop that sells exactly that, lovely Scandinavian things that furnish, decorate and brighten up your home. We launched our website a year to the day of opening our shop and source our products on our thrice yearly shopping trips to Denmark and Sweden. We are always on the look out for new ideas and trends from the small individual makers often not seen out of Scandinavia.
As huge fans of Charlie Harper and father of Scandinavian design, Carl Larsson, we were delighted to find Pomegranate stationary at a local trade fair, it literally stopped us in our tracks. This range has been hugely successful it seems to appeal to all age groups, the quality is fantastic and the price point is perfect."
So if you're looking for that perfect piece of Scandinavian furniture to compliment your home, or some of Pomegranate's gorgeous Charley Harper, or Carl Larsson products to impress your friends, Hus & Hem should be your first stop!
If you happen to be in Ledbury, you'll find this "hidden gem" 16 paces up an alleyway, a pretty little double fronted shop in a courtyard just off of Ledbury High Street. (a map is available on the Hus & Hem website)

Glorious Gorey
Edward Gorey: The New Poster Book The Doubtful Guest, Amy and Basil Gashlycrumb, Dracula and Lucy, Jumblies, the Great Veiled Bear—this curious cast of characters joins a slew of other peculiar people and beasts in this big beauty of a book. Thirty large-format reproductions display Edward Gorey's signature crosshatched drawings, elegant watercolors, and endless wit—all perfect for framing, or to treasure as a collection.

Creator of more than one hundred works, Edward Gorey (1925-2000) was also a playwright, an award-winning set and costume designer, and the creator of the animated introduction to the PBS series Mystery!
By Edward Gorey. 64 pages with 30 large-format reproductions, 18 in color. Size: 10 1/4 x 15 in. Smyth-sewn paperbound book. ISBN 978-0-7649-5147-3

Pom Shop of the Month THE TOKENHOUSE
We are pleased to launch our gallery of Pom Shops of the Month starting with The Tokenhouse in Nottingham.
The Tokenhouse have supported the Pomegranate list for many years and say:-
"We think Pomegranate products fill a gap in the market, particularly the Leather Journals and Knowledge Cards. They make good presents for men. The calendars have a strong following, Waterhouse, Forgotten English and now England By Rail which evokes great nostalgia. With their range of calendars it is often possible to tie in with local museum exhibitions."
The Tokenhouse, one of England's few remaining privately owned gift shops!
They are not part of a group or chain - they are independent, creative and constantly changing.
Situated in Nottingham's historic Bridlesmith Gate, they have traded successfully for over 37 years. Theye stock a wide and exciting range of original gifts, cards, jewellery, pottery and cosmetics.
The items offered on this site are only a fraction of what they carry in the shop!
THE BEST CARD SELECTION IN NOTTINGHAM!
At the Tokenhouse they have an amazing selection of greetings cards from dozens of specialist UK suppliers. If you can't find what you're looking for we'll be amazed!
Weddings, anniversaries, sympathy, new home, new job, retiring, new baby, christening, acceptance, graduation, exam success, every birthday, and thousands of blank cards in a multitude of designs and styles.
