Author Description

Richard Tice, a master of the haiku form, presents in this collection a series of linked verse and individual haiku in the style of the old Japanese poets. The book includes essays on experience as part of haiku (makoto) and on linked verse, along with a wealth of evocative haiku written in Japan, Korea, and the United States. Of particular interest is the section called "Morning Grass," in which the author has created new links to haiku from the old masters. This is a collection not to be missed. if I could also go flower-viewing, I'd be so pleased with the world
