Once confined to a literary elite in Japan, haiku are now written
all over the world by poets who find their combination of brevity,
technical discipline and expressive content irresistible. This
collection brings together hundreds of poems by Japanese writers
from the fifteenth century to the twentieth, with modern examples
from Europe and America. In addition, there is a selection of poems
influenced by haiku, and a section devoted to haiku-like passages
from traditional English poets. The book is dominated by four great
masters - Basho, Buson, Issa and Shiki - who between them compress
the gamut of human experience into the limits of seventeen
syllables.
