Oliver Luke Delorie

Oliver Luke Delorie is an author, songwriter, speaker, and award-winning haiku poet with a seriously playful approach to life.

He has written more than 30 books, with work translated into 13 languages. His titles include Wabi Sabi: Finding Beauty in Imperfection, Shinrin-Yoku: The Healing Art of Forest Bathing, Friluftsliv, Creative Manifestos, and Floating World Tarot.

Oliver hired his first copy editor at the age of ten. Since then, his curiosity has carried him across countries, cultures, and creative disciplines—from publishing and music to food, film, and live performance.

Whether exploring Japanese philosophy, the pleasures of getting outdoors, or the courage to express yourself, his work invites readers to loosen their grip on perfection, reconnect with their creativity, and make room for a more meaningful life.
