Book Description

Dear haiku journal, I think I killed some people. That was no dog bite. This journal contains the poetic musings of a mailman who, after being bitten by what he thinks is a dog, discovers that he is actually now a werewolf. Wreaking havoc wherever he goes, he details his new life and transformations in the 5-7-5 syllable structure of haiku—his poetry of choice. Follow along as our werewolf poet slowly turns from a mostly normal man into the hairy beast that he cannot keep trapped inside. And watch out for carnage when he changes and becomes hungry. No toenail, no entrail, no pigtail will be left behind. And talk about wreaking havoc: His newfound claws and teeth have sent his clothing budget through the roof! He is in love with a woman on his route, but he has never had the courage to tell her. As he fights against his urges during each full moon, he discovers that succumbing to his primal instincts will not only bag him a good meal—it just might help him in his quest for love…Or maybe not.

Book Description

A compact collection of more than 500 poems from Jack Kerouac that reveal a lesser known but important side of his literary legacy “Above all, a haiku must be very simple and free of all poetic trickery and make a little picture and yet be as airy and graceful as a Vivaldi pastorella.”—Jack Kerouac Renowned for his groundbreaking Beat Generation novel On the Road, Jack Kerouac was also a master of the haiku, the three-line, seventeen-syllable Japanese poetic form. Following the tradition of Basho, Buson, Shiki, Issa, and other poets, Kerouac experimented with this centuries-old genre, taking it beyond strict syllable counts into what he believed was the form’s essence. He incorporated his “American” haiku in novels and in his correspondence, notebooks, journals, sketchbooks, and recordings. In Book of Haikus, Kerouac scholar Regina Weinreich has supplemented a core haiku manuscript from Kerouac’s archives with a generous selection of the rest of his haiku, from both published and unpublished sources.

Book Description

"This first, annual collection is the result of an online search for the best haiku. Here's the story... as a busy writing coach, manuscript editor, and school educator, I often told others that I couldn't find the time to read for my own pleasure. Then, during a trip to return a family member's overdue books, I was attracted to the library's poetry section. While scanning the many titles, I noted dozens of books about traditional and modern haiku. Standing there between shelves, I had an epiphany that was more like a confession: I easily could find the time to read 17 syllables a day. No excuse! "After finishing the library books, I set up a Twitter account and named it Haiku Crush @HaikuCrush so I could tweet my crushes on poets writing haiku. I quickly rediscovered and appreciated one of writing's oldest and shortest forms. If a haiku was reflective, inspiring, clever, or emotionally moving, then I liked it and shared it with others. "Next, I recruited my son and two friends to help me launch the Annual Search for the Best Haiku on a new website I created -- HaikuCrush.com -- where many writers submitted hundreds of haiku. Haiku Crush's team judged each of them. The rest of the story is this inaugural anthology of winning haiku... which I hope you'll also find the time to appreciate!" -- Stephen FitzGerald

From turn-of-the-century masters to poets of today, 300 of Japan's best modern haiku are introduced by OZAWA Minrou, a leading contemporary haiku poet and critic. Each of the poems, many of them scarcely known, is sensitively discussed together with the background of the poem and the relations between the poets. This volume includes poems from the end of the nineteenth century through the beginning of the twenty-first century by the most important writers of modern haiku. they include the leading lights from grounds surrounding MASAOKA Shiki and his disciple TAKAHAMA Kyoshi as well as poets who experimented with new styles such as seasonless haiku, free form haiku, and multi-line haiku. Alongside these are works by well-known novelists and other cultural figures who were not professional haiku poets but for whom haiku was an important part of their lives, such as KUBOTA Mantarō, AKUTAGAWA Ryūnosuke, and NATSUME Sōseki. The book also features beautiful seasonal photographs at the beginning of each chapter, and an additional 20 haiku by the author." --
