abetterjulie 's review for:

The Heart of Haiku by Jane Hirshfield

4.0

---

Excellent longread essay that stands as a single on the Kindle. It introduces the reader to Basho and his life, as well as offering a glimpse at the philosophies which underpin his work.
I would recommend this as an easy and concise way to grasp the nuance of Haiku form and meaning.
