Books Acquired Recently: Haiku Edition

Higginson, William J., and Penny Harter. The Haiku Handbook: How to Write, Teach, and Appreciate Haiku. 25th Anniversary Edition. New York: Kodansha USA, 2013.

I’ve had this classic on my to-buy list for a while, and finally decided to acquire it.

Pearce, Jacqueline, ed. Last Train Home: An Anthology of Contemporary Haiku, Tanka, and Rengay. Vancouver: Pondhawk Press, 2021.

Because commuting on the PATH train and subway is a significant part of my working life, I end up writing a lot of train-related haiku. I was therefore quite excited to find out about this anthology of train-related poems via a review in an old issue of Blithe Spirit, and ordered the book shortly thereafter.
