Mostly Sitting Haiku

Mostly Sitting Haiku

Overview

This booklet further paves the intersection between the "mainstream" of contemporary writing and the haiku "movement" in North America...The short poems in this booklet range from purest haiku through wry senryu to several which are simply poems, outside any genre save that of Coleridge's "the best words in the best order." They are mostly about sitting, not in the studied attitude of a self-appointed adept, but as a person aware of the twitches and aches that tell him who he is. Perhaps through them we can learn more about who we are [from the introduction by William J. Higginson]. 5.5x8.5", (4)23 pp.
