haiku notes

News from the haiku world

Thursday, March 06, 2003

The Haiku International Association has published a selection of ten haiku, in English and Japanese, by author and tinywords contributor William Higginson. This is a great honor for Bill, who is the first non-Japanese to have been invited to offer such a selection. It's also good fortune for haiku lovers, because Bill presents a really remarkable selection of haiku, from Basho to to Elizabeth Lamb, along with some short reviews of three of them. It must have been a challenge for him to select just ten from the tens of thousands of haiku he's read in his life... but the work shows; these are exquisite.
