My Haiku Class

I'm taking a great Haiku class - and I highly recommend the following reading for anyone interested in Haiku:

1. The Classic Tradition of Haiku: An Anthology by Faubion Bowers
2. Essential Haiku: Versions of Basho, Buson, Issa by Robert Haas
3. Haiku: A Poet's Guide by Lee Gurga

These are not only great readings but introduce you to numerous techniques and concepts for understanding its art!
