The Haiku Handbook #25th Anniversary Edition: How to Write, Teach, and Appreciate Haiku Paperback – September 27, 2013

If you want to know about haiku poetry this is a great book

I had the previous edition, but lost it in a move. Very glad to find this.

I received a copy of The Haiku Handbook- 25th Anniversary Edition as a Christmas gift. I am so glad to finally have a copy of this classic haiku resource book for myself, instead of borrowing one from our local library.For anyone who writes, teaches or just enjoys haiku poetry, this is a must have book. One that you will refer to again and again, for inspiration, historical references and so much more.A nice presentation for this edition too. Makes a perfect gift. ;<) I certainly thought it was.Only one negative on the book presentation...I did note a couple of typos on the first few pages, something that the publishers might want to correct before reprinting this book.Geraldine Helen Hartman author of the Haiku Reflections series.

If you love haiku, or want to know more about it and see many examples and learn how to teach it this is the book for you.

I haven't really dug too deeply into this book but it looks like it is exactly what I wanted.

Fun book with lots of ideas.

haiku is my passion--love this book

Excellent book on haiku poetry. A lot of historical info about the prominent Haiku writers. The book transitions from haiku history to instruction, with a sharp focus on exemplar haiku and the poetic characteristics of a well-written haiku. I wish there was more of a focus on the instructional aspects than the historical and cultural evolution of haiku. Nevertheless, Higginson's book is a great read and I intend on reading it a second time.
