Publisher Description

Aimed chiefly at newcomers, this is a practical guide to understanding and composing haiku.

If you've long been curious about haiku then this introduction will answer your questions about syllable counts, cutting-words (kireji), season-words (kigo) and so much more, including differences between approaches in the English and Japanese languages.

Using verse from masters and contemporary poets, the Haiku How-To will take you through key concepts and important contextual issues. The guide also features concise explanations and examples of compositional techniques, and offers easy-to-use templates which will allow you to grow accustomed to the form, structure and goals of haiku.
