Description
This book is for everyone whose attention has been caught by haiku. Whether you would like to gain a deeper knowledge of its intricate meaning and construction, or you are a dabbler in poetry and wish to expand your versatility, or which to gain the value in consise and simple expression. While the author admits that it is impossible to give "complete or even adequate answers" to the myriad of questions that arise concerning the art, he nevertheless proposes guide lines and ideas which could help. 1. What is a Japanese haiku? 2. What is, or should be, a haiku in English? 3. What should an English-speaking person so in order to write (or teach) haiku in English?
