Book Description
This highly practical guide instructs readers on how to write haiku and senryu (the latter, humorous haiku). Haiku and senryu are short, insightful poems that capture the moments of our lives, whether happy or sad. Usually written in one to four lines, these challenging poems for their brevity and thought, are about nature, the seasons, and human nature. This guide dispels the many myths about them and instructs people on reading them with understanding and writing them thoughtfully. It also informs on how and where to get them published. Haiku and senryu are written worldwide in dozens of languages and are growing rapidly in popularity. The book teaches readers the basics and finer points of style and content for beginning and intermediate poets, giving a few hundred examples of excellent published poems, along with analysis of them. Also included, is instruction about haiku and senryu sequences, a series of individual poems with a theme. This guide offers the history behind these forms in the U.S. and in Japan, the latter, where they originated. Further, for educators of all levels and workshop leaders, it contains practical aids, outlines of study, lesson/homework plans, and samples of students' poetry. In addition, the book's highly useful appendices and bibliography guide readers to dozens of resources worldwide, online and in print, to increase their knowledge of the forms and offer publishing, networking, and contest opportunities. The book is written by Charlotte Digregorio, an award-winning author of four other non-fiction books, a prize-winning poet of many forms, including haiku and senryu, and a Pushcart Prize nominee. Digregorio is Midwest Regional Coordinator of the Haiku Society of America. She has been a professor of languages and writing, a writer-in-residence at many schools, a conference speaker nationwide, and a teacher of younger students. She publishes papers in university journals on haiku and senryu, and her poems are often quoted and critiqued in publications. Her poems are exhibited in venues, such as public/academic libraries, cultural centers, art galleries, storefronts, restaurants, coffee and tea houses, and on public transit.

Book Description
A world of dew And within every dewdrop A world of struggle The iconic three-line haiku form is increasingly popular today as people embrace its simplicity and grace--and its connections to the Japanese ethos of mindfulness and minimalism. Say more with fewer words. This practical guide by poet and teacher Bruce Ross shows you how to capture a fleeting moment, like painting a picture with words, and how to give voice to your innermost thoughts, feelings, and observations. You don't have to be a practiced poet or writer to write your own haiku, and this book shows you how. In this book, aspiring poets will find: Accessible, easy-to-replicate examples and writing prompts A foreword that looks at the state of haiku today as the form continues to expand worldwide An introduction to related Japanese haiku forms such as tanka, haiga, renga, haibun, and senryu A listing of international journals and online resources Do you want to tell a story? Give haibun a try. Maybe you want to express a fleeting feeling? A tanka is the perfect vehicle. Are you more visual than verbal? Then a haiga, or illustrated haiku, is the ideal match. Finally, a renga is perfect as a group project or to create with friends, passing a poem around, adding line after line, and seeing what your group effort amounts to. Ross walks readers through the history and form of haiku, before laying out what sets each Japanese poetic form apart. Then it's time to turn to your notebook and start drafting some verse of your own!
