Originally a Japanese form that flourished in the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries, haiku has recently experienced tremendous
growth in popularity in the English language. The Haiku Anthology,
first published in 1974, is a landmark work in modern haiku,
honoring a genre of poetry that celebrates simplicity, emotion, and
imagery in which only a few words convey worlds of mystery and
meaning. This third edition, now completely revised and updated,
comprises 850 haiku and senryu (a related genre, usually humorous
and concerned with human nature) written in English by 89 poets,
including the top haiku writers of the American past and present. A
new foreword details developments since the publication of the last
edition. "Each of these perfect little poems will come as a
revelation to the uninitiated reader and will bring joy to the
haiku enthusiast. . . . This is an exceptional selection of
English-language haiku at its finest." Library Booknotes"
