Description
The Penguin Book of Haiku presents a vibrant introduction to this widely celebrated yet misunderstood art form. Originally from Japan, haiku flourished from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries, renowned for its minimalism and brevity, yet also capable of being erotic, funny, crude and mischievous.
With over a thousand exemplars in vivid and engaging translations by Adam L. Kern, this anthology offers an illuminating insight into the haiku's unique use of natural imagery to make Zen-like observations about reality. A fascinating and engaging collection for those looking to explore this unique aspect of Japanese poetry.
