Each word is chosen to unlock a world of memories and associations. Haiku, like Zen, is an intensely personal experience. Jonathan Clements has selected the best of three centuries of haiku, including the work of classic poets such as Basho, Buson and Chiyo-Ni and rendered into English the elusive spiritual quality of the poems. Illustrated with carefully selected images from Japanese prints and paintings.'In need of a pick-me-up? There's nothing more uplifting than haiku poetryIn just a few words, this lovely Japanese art form goes beneath the surface to the heart of the experience.
