Haiku by Peter Washington

This is a nice collection of haiku, but I didn't like how it was organized. In the traditional Japanese sections, poems were grouped by subject. You'd read six poems in a row about chrysanthemums, which became tedious and repetitive. In the modern Western section, it was grouped by author... This organization just couldn't win in my opinion.

This was a nice collection with some really good haikus. As far as poetry collections go, this is one that features a large number of poems that I liked a lot (which doesn't often happen), so even though there are of course some poems that don't speak to me, the good ones really make up for it.

Issa and Virgilio and Forrester were my favorites in a book full of perfection
