BOOKMART

BOOKMART.........
World Haiku Review
Volume 5, Issue 1

BookMart is not a space for book reviews but is a place to provide in a neutral sense information about various publications in the haiku literature and related genres which are available to readers. It is something like a notice board to be used among friends. Therefore, by providing such information WHC is not recommending either for or against these books. The intentions include that BookMart will help bona fide authors in the dissemination and distribution of their books. Books are presented with or without some comments which are entirely the opinions of the commentators and will not form any part of a book review.

slipping and falling
mountain silence

straight ahead
out-reaching loneliness
road.

...It’s truly unbelievable to what degree men gifted with a sense of humor are living proof against the trapfalls of unfortunate destiny; translations that capture laughter as an undeniable argument against the ominous, and delightfully present things that may be off-color to some—well, let me just say that not many can resist this underlying influence, especially when presented within excellent translation... .
—an'ya
