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!

In The Emerald Hour, poet Richard Stevenson returns to the Japanese forms of haiku and tanka, seemingly the simplest yet most precise of poetic forms. This is his third book of Japanese forms published by Ekstasis Editions, in what comprises a series. The first of the series, Hot Flashes, explored Stevenson's experience of living and teaching in Africa, using haiku to capture the essence of that colourful world. In A Charm of Finches the poet returned home to Alberta, a land more familiar but no less exotic when viewed through the lens of haiku. Now in The Emerald Hour Richard Stevenson focuses clearly on nature, the traditional subject of Japanese forms. From settings such as idyllic Henderson Lake, shown in evocative photographs by Ellen McArthur, to interior British Columbia and his hometown of Lethbridge, Stevenson offers monuments to moments even Basho would enjoy.
Blink of a Duck's Eye is a collection of Tom Bierovic's haiku, senryu, and tanka poetry, beautifully illustrated with black and white photos, sketches, and woodcuts. Haiku focus on a specific moment (usually in Nature) that catches the poet's attention and that sparks an imaginative leap of recognition and connection - a haiku moment. Although most haiku written in English were traditionally composed of 17 syllables, divided into three lines of five, seven, and five syllables, contemporary haiku are presented in one, two, three, or four lines, and most are shorter than 17 syllables. Here's one of Tom Bierovic's haiku (Runner-up in the British Haiku Society's awards for 2019 and published in Blithe Spirit, 2020): melting iciclea sparrow showersdrip by drip David Lanoue, one of the British Haiku Society's judges for its 2019 awards, wrote this commentary about the poem: The 'melting icicle' haiku is exquisite in its observation and suggestiveness of feeling. One drip at a time, the sparrow patiently showers: shaking its head (I imagine), ruffling its feathers, and then waiting for more. I imagine that it is also waiting for springtime heat and the resurgence of life that the melting of winter ice betokens. I sense such warmth, compassion, and camaraderie (Issa-like!) for the little bird. Another form of poetry in Blink of a Duck's Eye is senryu (similar to haiku in structure but focusing more on human nature than Nature itself). Here's one of Tom's senryu (published in Under the Basho, 2020): the sign saysnarrow road aheadtalk radio The third type of poem in this collection is tanka (an older form of Japanese poetry, usually written in five lines). Tom's five-line poems can also be called quintain or tanshi to differentiate them from traditional tanka. Here's one of Tom's tanka (quintain/tanshi) published in One Sentence Poems, April, 2020: knowingwhat I knowa spider webin the moonlightstill shimmers The haiku, senryu, and tanka in Blink of a Duck's Eye have earned their place among the finest contemporary short poems. Readers will discover much to enjoy and reflect upon in this engaging, well-crafted collection. About the Author Tom Bierovic (M.Ed., M.Div.) is a widely published and award-winning poet.
