Book of the Week: Zen Koanheads
John J. Dunphy has a special affinity with those genres that reside on the fringes of haiku, like scifaiku, but his first love has always been senryu. This collection (Second Reading Publications, 2008) shows him at his characteristic best.
You can read the entire book in the THF Digital Library.
