Book Description
The Haiku Seasons introduces haiku and the whole range of poetry related to haiku--now growing in popularity worldwide--with explanations and numerous examples. Here too are independent hokku, originally starting verses for linked poems; senryu, humorous verses on human foibles; and linked-verse poems written by teams of poets. Drawing on a millennium of Japanese tradition, the author discusses the history and meaning of the deep connection between haiku and nature.

Drawing on a millennium of Japanese tradition, the author discusses the history and meaning of the deep connection between haiku and nature.
The Haiku Seasons concludes with a brief anthology of recent poems from several countries, organized to demonstrate the features of a typical Japanese poetic almanac, or saijiki, including both seasonal and non-seasonal poems.
About the Author
William J. Higginson studied Japanese at Yale University where he discovered the haiku, and served, with the U.S. Air Force in Japan. He is a charter member of the Haiku Society of America, founded in 1968, and edited and published Haiku Magazine (1971-76). He has three published collections of longer poems and one of haiku, and has work appearing in magazines and anthologies worldwide. He has also taught in the National Endowment for the Arts "Poets-in-the Schools" program, leading writing workshops in hundreds of schools, and he regularly speaks at conferences in the U.S., Canada, and Japan. Higginson's international anthology of haiku for children, Wind in the Long Grass, is a classroom favorite. His two-volume sequel to The Haiku Handbook, The Haiku Seasons and Haiku World, gives a comprehensive view of the history, present state, and international possibilities of seasonal consciousness in poetry.
