On Haiku

“For nearly fifty years, Hiroaki Sato has been talking, thinking, writing, and translating haiku. Now fortunate readers can have his ten-fold treasures of wisdom here in one volume, On Haiku.
All the many styles and genres of haiku are explored on both sides of the Pacific, from the classical haiku of Basho, Issa, and Zen Monks, to modern haiku about swimsuits and atomic bombs, to the haiku of famous American writers such as J.D. Salinger and Jack Kerouac.”
