Jorie Graham is the person who has her poetry students write 100 haiku. I read about it is Sam Hamill's wonderful book <i>A Poet's Work</i>.Satiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227625739706115993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694544587099662654.post-62365210799580001732010-03-14T11:16:39.907-07:002010-03-14T11:16:39.907-07:00Thanks, Satia.

You might enjoy the following as well:<br /><br />Seeds from a Birch Tree by Clark Strand<br />A lovely book about the spiritual practice of haiku, probably not unlike McGee's book.<br /><br />Haiku Mind by Patricia Donegan<br />A lovely collection of haiku with meditative thoughts on each piece and information about the authors. (An excellent way to meet "new" haiku writers.)<br /><br />The Spring of My Life by Issa Kobayashi<br />A collection of haibun--prose with haiku--that is also a lovely memoir from a haiku master.<br /><br />The Healing Spirit of Haiku by Rosen and Weishaus <br />A correspondence in haibun with lovely sumi-e illustrations.<br /><br />I'm sorry but my enthusiasm for haiku is rather easily stimulated and I am always grateful to find out that there is a book out there for me to read and then I inevitably want to share some I have read. I hope you don't mind the list. <br /><br />I think you should write the poem a day for 100 days. I remember reading recently that a professor of poetry would encourage her students to write 100 (or was it 1000?) haiku so that they could better appreciate the subtlety of what appears so very simple.Satiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227625739706115993noreply@blogger.com
