5.0 out of 5 stars I Thoroughly Recommend this Book!, Sep 5 2003
By 
angela leuck (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Writing And Enjoying Haiku: A Hands-on Guide (Paperback)
Years ago, when I first started writing haiku I read all the how-to books that were then on the market. Thus, when I heard about Jane Reichhold's new book "Writing and Enjoying Haiku: A Hands-on- Guide" I thought, there probably won't be much that I don't already know, but I bought the book anyway, just because it was written by Jane. Was I surprised! I learned so much that was new not only about haiku, but tanka and renga as well. Now, after reading the book, I feel I can look at a haiku and understand so much better why it works or doesn't, and have the vocabulary and tools to analyze and improve my own work and that of others. Only Jane Reichhold, with her extensive background in literature and journalism and her genuine passion for the Japanese forms, could have amassed and synthesized all this material and then made it so clear and accessible to anyone. Bravo! I am recommending the book to everyone I know!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hints and suggestions for haiku writers, July 6 2004
By 
Jose Maria Prieto Zamora "chemari" (Campus Somosaguas, Madrid Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Writing And Enjoying Haiku: A Hands-on Guide (Paperback)
This is a book that summarizes the state of the art of haiku writing in English which is different of haiku writing in other cultures such as Japanese or French. It is a way of rooting haiku writing in present momments of psychological awareness. The consequence is a way of grasping daily life events just as they are and expressing it ineffably. This book handles a large list of rules, criteria, hints that once examined must be discarded first and reinvented afterwards through haiku writing. It includes also important details regarding how to publish and make haiku writing a useful tool in occupations word were fluency, expresiveness and precision are a requisite. Somehow haiku writing operates as a projective technique for human minds.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Overview, Jan 16 2004
By 
This review is from: Writing And Enjoying Haiku: A Hands-on Guide (Paperback)
Excellent overview of Haiku. What I found especially satisfying is an overview of the type of mindset one needs to assume when writing Haiku. Writing Haiku can truly be a form of meditation in itself.
