Book Reviews of Haiku: A Poet's Guide
Book Review: All you need to know about Haiku
Summary: 5 Stars
I have recently begun writing haiku not knowing much about it except it was a three line poem and it used a 5/7/5 syllable format. What I did not know was the history of haiku, the rules of writing and the development from Japanese to English language. I read a lot of information off the net but then I found this book which really tells you all you need to know about haiku, before you start to write them yourself. It not only gives historical background and explains the problem of syllables but tells you a great deal about the background rules and attitudes that inform the poem, if it can really be called a poem.
I really recommend this to anyone, who wants to know about haiku and its past and curent history, but realise that you may find it a life changing experience
