Books Acquired Recently: Haiku Edition

I’ve been focusing more on writing haiku and senryu lately. As a part of that focus, I want to start reading more books of haiku rather than just haiku journals.

Boyer, David M. Overpacked for the Afterlife. N.p.: David M. Boyer, 2023.

I read a review of this book in the latest issue of Frogpond. The book sounds intriguing, so I decided to buy it.

George, Barry. Sirens and Rain. Lexington, KY: Accents Publishing, 2020.

I’ve had this book of city haiku on my list to buy for a while.

van den Heuvel, Cor. The Haiku Anthology. New York: Anchor Books, 1974.

I have the most recent edition (the third) of this germinal anthology, but I’ve been wanting to learn more lately about the history of the haiku community in the U.S., so I decided to look for a copy of the first edition. I was able to find one in good condition for under ten dollars.
