Synopsis
Many lovers of poetry consider haiku to be literature's most subtle art form. The whole of life seems effortlessly expressed in only a few words and images. Snow Falling From a Bamboo Leaf: The Art of Haiku presents readers with sixty of the more famous classical haiku in the original romanized Japanese along with their interlinear transliterations. This unique combination becomes a great help in understanding how they were made. An introductory essay tells how haiku can just as easily be written in English and as a help to readers creating their own haiku, it explains to them the elegant but rigorous structure of what appears to be an easy art form. This charming and informative book is tastefully illustrated with the author's own lovely ink drawings
