Praise

"I read The Haiku Seasons with great pleasure—a really fine book."

—Haruo Shirane, author of The Bridge of Dreams

"In a wonderfully lucid way, The Haiku Seasons presents the historical and modern Japanese usage of seasonal themes in poetry. It shows, as nothing else in the literature has done, the growing dialogue between poets in Japan and other countries. An extremely valuable work!"

—Elizabeth Searle Lamb, retired editor of Frogpond
