This third edition, now completely revised and updated, comprises 850 haiku and senryu (a related genre, usually humorous and concerned with human nature) written in English by 89 poets, including the top haiku writers of the American past and present. A new foreword details developments since the publication of the last edition. Each of these perfect little poems will come as a revelation to the uninitiated reader and will bring joy to the haiku enthusiast. This is an exceptional selection of English-language haiku at its finest. | ?? Library Booknotes.
