HAIKU (EVERYMANS LIBRARY POCKET POETS)

A collection of the most influential haiku poems, from the origins of the haiku format in 15th Century Japan to modern examples from Europe and America. The book is dominated by four haiku legends - Basho, Buson, Issa and Shiki - who mastered the art of compressing bold expression into seventeen syllables. This is a great introductory book for the haiku discipline, lain out in a handsome hardback design from the Everyman’s Library Pocket Book series.
