Haiku in English by Jim Kacian
Haiku in English is an anthology of more than 800 brilliantly chosen poems that were originally written in English by over 200 poets from around the world. Although haiku originated as a Japanese art form, it has found a welcome home in the English-speaking world. This collection tells the story for the first time of Anglophone haiku, charting its evolution over the last hundred years and placing it within its historical and literary context.
"A large, revealing anthology" -- Hiroaki Sato - Japan Times "Shows [this] poem's brief form isn't lost in translation." -- Jim Higgins - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Rich in variety. There is the poignant ... the flippant ... the experimental." -- Andrea Miller - Shambala Sun
