Product Description
Jeffrey Cooper, KLIATT
"... ideas of great depth within its apparent simplicity.... Recommended for junior and senior high school students, advanced students, and adults."
Product Description
Writing and Enjoying Haiku shows how haiku can bring a centered, calming atmosphere into one's life, by focusing on the outer realities of life instead of the naggings of the inner mind, by gaining a new appreciation for the world of nature, and by preserving moments, days, and events so that they are not lost forever in the passage of time. Haiku are clearly shown to be a means of discovering and recording the miracles of the world, from the humorous to the tragic. This is one of the major themes underlying Writing and Enjoying Haiku-that haiku can provide a way to a better life.
After looking at why the reading and writing of haiku is important from a spiritual point of view, the book shows, as has never been done before, the techniques of writing-the when and the where, punctuation and capitalization, choice of words, figures of speech, sharing haiku, and much, much more.
Having come this far, having learned to read and write haiku with a discerning mind, the reader will never again look upon the world in quite the same way.

I have read quite a number of books on the subject, but "Writing and Enjoying Haiku" sets everything down in a very clear and interesting way.

This book, written simply - with modesty and humour - has incisive insights into understanding and learning to write Haiku. Inspirational and highly recommended for the beginner and those trying to improve their Haiku.

I cannot imagine a better book for a lover of Haiku - or for a person wishing to know more about this exquisite Japanese art form. Jane Reichhold is clearly in full command of the many aspects of Haiku (as her credentials indicate). She clears up misunderstandings regarding its rules and forms and inspires the reader to try their hand at writing - even, I suspect, if they had not intended to do so!
Her book is truly a Hands on guide! I cannot recommend it highly enough!
