Based on images from nature, the poems address the themes of joy, temporality, beauty, wonder, loneliness, and loss. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHaiku may be the most popular and widely recognizable poetic form in the world. In just three lines a great haiku presents a crystalline moment of image, emotion, and awareness. Elements of compassion, silence, and a sense of temporality often combine to reveal a quality of mystery. Just as often, haiku may bring a startling insight into the ordinary, or a flash of humor. Collected here are over two hundred of the best haiku of Japanese literature--written by the great masters of the genre. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe featured poets are Bashō, Buson, Issa, Moritake, Sōin, Sanpū, Kikaku, Ransetsu, Kyorai, Raizan, Kakei, Onitsura, Taigi, Chiyo, Sogetsuni, Sogi, Fuhaku, Teiga, Kikusha-ni, Tayo-jo, Sōchō, Shōha, and Shiki. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is a pocket-size reissue of The Sound of Water (Shambhala, 1995).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49532371763473,"sku":"GOR010875808","price":13.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49735853048081,"sku":"NGR9781611807004","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50240575013137,"sku":"CIN161180700XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51625100378385,"sku":"NIN9781611807004","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52106998546705,"sku":"CIN161180700XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/161180700X.jpg?v=1751120087","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/fr-fr\/products\/pocket-haiku-livre-sam-hamill-9781611807004","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
