Book of the Week: An Introduction to Haiku

klaczanskyGeorge Klacsanzky taught haiku with an indelible Zen tang, evident in his own work and, as is apparent here, that of his protégés. An Introduction to Haiku (self-published, 1995) selects poems written during a haiku workshop held at a Poulsbo (Washington) café in January and February 1995.

You can read the entire book in the THF Digital Library.

Do you have a chapbook published 2010 or earlier you would like featured as a Book of the Week? Contact us for details.

Haiku featured in the Book of the Week Archive are selected by THF president THF president Jim Kacian, and are used with permission.

bonsai garden a stream
of traffic
