andresreading's review against another edition
5.0
This book is a breath of fresh air.
More often than not, if you look for any information about Haiku, you will find a technical description of the form of a Haiku poem. This book, however, brings about something much larger than that, without losing track of that important element, and still maintaining the simplicity that it must. Reading it is sort of a short and simple walk outside.

A Zen, philosophical take on haiku. Talks about the beauty of nature, avoiding intellectualism, warns of forcing art, and so on. Probably not for one who is just beginning to learn about haiku and want a more technical guide.
