Haiku are usually constructed of three lines, using a total of seventeen syllables, that aim to present a new way of seeing a moment in the natural world.
This beautifully illustrated book features over 200 poems from 100 of the best haiku poets from America and around the world, as well as translations of the Japanese masters.
The poems range in time from seventeenth-century Japanese to twentieth-century American.
