Indispensable!,
This review is from: snow on the water: The Red Moon Anthology of English-Language Haiku (Paperback)
"Snow on the Water - The Red Moon Anthology of English-Language Haiku 1998" is an excellent collection of haiku-related material. The aim of the editors is to collect the most notable material published each year. In the 1998-edition, there are 175 haiku and senryu (of excellent quality!), 8 or so haibun and 6 examples of linked haiku. There are also 4 very short essays and 2 longer essays on haiku, one by J. P. Trammell, "Haiku: Toward an Organic Definition for the West", where he compares the western and eastern minds in relation to haiku, exploring the differences in sensibilities and associations. A great essay! In the other longer essay "Issa: The Uses of Adversity" Anita Virgil examines and evaluates Issa's poetry placing the poems in three different stacks "haiku", "senryu" and "pure crie de coeur", clarifying the mixed feelings a reader of Issa's poetry might experience."The Red Moon Anthology" provides an invaluable resource to any haiku-fan who has limited access to haiku periodicals or haiku collections. This is an indispensable publication, a Reader's Digest in the best sense of the word. |
