Esperantujo: When Esperanto speakers meet, they say that they're in Esperantujo — a kind of homeland that springs into existence wherever people are using Esperanto. Posxtmarkoj: Postage stamps have special meanings for Esperanto speakers, who receive mail from correspondents all around the world. Combining original photography and haiku by Steven Brewer, presented in Esperanto with English translation, this book offers a vision of postage stamps for those who would like to visit Esperantujo — or just learn a little more about this fascinating place, its eclectic culture, and international community.

About the Author:

Steven Brewer, while a doctoral student, no longer had time to study Esperanto. But he could find enough time to write haiku in Esperanto, which he would exchange with his brother by email. This led to a fascination with the contrast between the utter flexibility of the rules of Esperanto and the rigid structure and minimalistic limits of haiku. Currently Brewer posts haiku daily at twitter.com/limako. Brewer lives in Amherst, Massachusetts and is Director of the Biology Computer Resource Center at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
