"Haiku 101" is an accessible, funny, and thought-provoking book of modern haiku that is grounded in the beauty and absurdity of contemporary life. The poems are presented three per page, suggesting the reader slow down from the frenetic pace of the day to savor each small creation. This collection is also ideal for teachers who wish to introduce students to the ways that observations of daily life, shared in simple and precise language, can communicate as much as a short story.
