This book is a collection of 108 English language Haiku and Senryu poems written over a period of twenty years. It detailsthose precious moments in life in whose ordinariness might otherwise go by unacknowledged save for the gift of Haiku.It is more than a simple poem, it is an artform that suspends eternity in simple things. As an avid practitioner of this craft I aspire to this notion. To convey my present experience and capture the ever illusive 'Haiku moment'.

This highly practical guide instructs readers on how to write haiku and senryu (the latter, humorous haiku). Haiku and senryu are short, insightful poems that capture the moments of our lives, whether happy or sad. Usually written in one to four lines, these challenging poems for their brevity and thought, are about nature, the seasons, and human nature.

Haiku and senryu are written worldwide in dozens of languages and are growing rapidly in popularity. The book teaches readers the basics and finer points of style and content for beginning and intermediate poets, giving a few hundred examples of excellent published poems, along with analysis of them. Also included, is instruction about haiku and senryu sequences, a series of individual poems with a theme. This guide offers the history behind these forms in the U.S. and in Japan, the latter, where they originated. Further, for educators of all levels and workshop leaders, it contains practical aids, outlines of study, lesson/homework plans, and samples of students' poetry. In addition, the book's highly useful appendices and bibliography guide readers to dozens of resources worldwide, online and in print, to increase their knowledge of the forms and offer publishing, networking, and contest opportunities. The book is written by Charlotte Digregorio, an award-winning author of four other non-fiction books, a prize-winning poet of many forms, including haiku and senryu, and a Pushcart Prize nominee. Digregorio is Midwest Regional Coordinator of the Haiku Society of America. She has been a professor of languages and writing, a writer-in-residence at many schools, a conference speaker nationwide, and a teacher of younger students. She publishes papers in university journals on haiku and senryu, and her poems are often quoted and critiqued in publications.

In this book, aspiring poets will find: Accessible, easy-to-replicate examples and writing prompts A foreword that looks at the state of haiku today as the form continues to expand worldwide An introduction to related Japanese haiku forms such as tanka, haiga, renga, haibun, and senryu A listing of international journals and online resources Do you want to tell a story? Give haibun a try. Maybe you want to express a fleeting feeling? A tanka is the perfect vehicle. Are you more visual than verbal? Then a haiga, or illustrated haiku, is the ideal match. Finally, a renga is perfect as a group project or to create with friends, passing a poem around, adding line after line, and seeing what your group effort amounts to. Ross walks readers through the history and form of haiku, before laying out what sets each Japanese poetic form apart. Then it's time to turn to your notebook and start drafting some verse of your own!

Everything you want to know about haiku written by one of the foremost experts in the field and the “finest translator of contemporary Japanese poetry into American English” (Gary Snyder) Who doesn’t love haiku? It is not only America’s most popular cultural import from Japan but also our most popular poetic form: instantly recognizable, more mobile than a sonnet, loved for its simplicity and compression, as well as its ease of composition. Haiku is an ancient literary form seemingly made for the Twittersphere—Jack Kerouac and Langston Hughes wrote them, Ezra Pound and the Imagists were inspired by them, Hallmark’s made millions off them, first-grade students across the country still learn to write them. But what really is a haiku? Where does the form originate? Who were the original Japanese poets who wrote them? And how has their work been translated into English over the years? The haiku form comes down to us today as a cliché: a three-line poem of 5-7-5 syllables. And yet its story is actually much more colorful and multifaceted. And of course to write a good one can be as difficult as writing a Homeric epic—or it can materialize in an instant of epic inspiration. In On Haiku, Hiroaki Sato explores the many styles and genres of haiku on both sides of the Pacific, from the classical haiku of Basho, Issa, and Zen monks, to modern haiku about swimsuits and atomic bombs, to the haiku of famous American writers such as J. D. Salinger and Allen Ginsburg. As if conversing over beers in your favorite pub, Sato explains everything you wanted to know about the haiku in this endearing and pleasurable book, destined to be a classic in the field.

Part I of "The Clay Jar" includes haiku and senryu poems written over the past 25 years. Many of the poems were originally published in "frogpond," the journal of the Haiku Society of America, as well as in other nationally and internationally recognized journals, magazines and anthologies. Part II includes haibun, a form of poetry which combines short prose and haiku. It is often used as a form of travel diary. The collected poems reflect the author's sense of irony and social conscience as she observes human relations and emotions, world events and the natural world. The poet's style aims for brevity, levity, a sense of immediacy and lightness.

"Pressing Matters: Haiku, Senryu and Haibun Poems," written between 2020 and 2022, responds to the coronavirus pandemic, accelerating changes in the natural environment due to climate change, and worldwide social unrest. Searching for answers to existential questions of loss and survival, the poems concern what it means to be human in a time of profound change and uncertainty. The haiku, senryu and haibun poems in Part I consider the increasing degradation of the natural environment due to systematic human intervention. Several haibun---poems that combine short prose and haiku---explore our dependence on nuclear energy and concentrated fossil fuels. Other haibun describe the whipsaw of droughts and deluges. Part II turns to the urgent social issues of economic disparity and insecurity, intolerance and racism, conflict and war. Part III concludes with poems about the COVID-19 pandemic, aging, illness, and death. "Pressing Matters" expresses gratitude for the gift of artistic expression and for the power of poetry and the visual arts to nudge out hearts and minds away from despair and complacency towards engagement and hope.
