This collection of ten critical essays is the first scholarly
criticism of haiku by Sonia Sanchez, who has exemplified herself
for six decades as a major figure in the Black Arts Movement, a
central activist in civil rights and women's movements, and an
internationally-known writer in American literature. Sanchez's
haiku, as an integral and prominent part of contemporary African
American poetry, have expressed not only her ideas of nature,
beauty, and harmony but also her aesthetic experience of music,
culture, and love. Aesthetically, this experience reflects a poetic
mind which has helped the poet to shape or reimage her poetic
spirit.
