"Classic haiku works by Japanese poets--appearing in their original script as well as Romaji and in English translation--are compiled in this artful collection. Ramirez-Christensen invites readers to contemplate the poems' meanings…The poems gracefully encourage reading, contemplation, and creativity, and Gallup evokes wonder through her gently surreal imagery." --Publishers Weekly
"Each two-page spread of this enigmatic collection of poems features a three-line verse by a haiku master--printed in English, Japanese, and romanized Japanese syllables--accompanied by a full-page painting of a surreal, imaginative scene…Haiku is a mainstay of classroom poetry sections, and this volume does an unusually good job of putting the form in context and emphasizing its evocative, quiet beauty." --Booklist
