Customer Review: I love the idea of combining the current zombie fixation with the precise imagery and structure of haiku. On the surface, this notion works just fine, and I can see why anyone scanning this volume would be enticed to grab a copy for friend or foe alike. But what works well for half a dozen or... more info
Customer Review: This is another wonderful book and is a fitting follow-up to "Beneath a Marble Sky." This is beautifully written (I even paused to read some of the beautiful descriptions to my husband and 11 year old son). I loved the characters and the story and because I couldn't put the book down, I'm already... more info

Customer Review: I love this collection of haiku. I've marked several favorites with Post-It flags and thumb through it often. I recommend it to anyone, especially people who are knew to haiku, because it includes a variety of themes and the poems were all written by true masters of the art. It's simply wonderful.
Mi idioma es el español, pero puedo

Customer Review: Nice book. Good text. Every poem got is little explanation or the translation in Kanji. We learn about poem and history in the same time. It's great. 5/5.
Customer Review: I have a tendency to be too wordy in my writing, so to learn more focus and control, I have been studying (and writing) haiku. The Haiku Handbook has been an engaging resource for me in those efforts. Each of the book's five sections contains a wealth of ideas and information that both challenges... more info
