Thanks for sharing that article, Alan.  A lot of information in there, and a great timeline of haiku.

I haven't noticed many tweets that leave out the translator, though I'm sure as one yourself you're much more aware when it happens.  I enjoy finding different translations of the same haiku; I think each one reveals a different aspect of the original.

Whereas haiku became a genre, but still retaining some aspects of form, hokku is distinctly a form, and was part of the most highly regulated form of poetry perhaps in the world.

I've never seen the distinction between the two put so eloquently and concisely at the same time.

A friend and excellent haiku poet from Canada, Laryalee Fraser, put together a very good haiku anthology a few years ago which she very generously made printable and free of charge: 'a procession of ripples' . You can find it here:

I know this thread is long dead, but if anyone is looking for "a procession of ripples" -- which is a great collection, by the way -- the above link doesn't work anymore. The anthology can now be found here:
