HAIKU WORLD

There is nothing to dislike about this book if you love poetry and want to explore haikus. Of course, expect brevity since the form itself is a short one. Lovely words.

Engaging, deep, beautiful, motivating.

This book pulled me into the evocative world of nature, each world enticing me to get outside and breath fresh air, smell the flowers, or grass. The poetry emotionally fulfilled my curiosity about what the Haiku World entails. I definitely want to visit Hawaii one day. Beautiful book. It's short but packs a punch of emotions.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC eread, this is my honest review.

What beautiful haikus; the haiku is one of my favourite poetic forms and Kuo Kenih creates a collection which is beautifully evocative, using language to create the senses. I really enjoyed reading this; it's gorgeous and wonderfully Japanese.

Having been curious about the haiku since it was first a category on tv show Pointless I was interested to read a collection of them over a variety of topics. Although this book doesn't give any instruction into the art of writing haiku it was an enjoyable read and I gained a better understanding of the form and flow required to write these successfully. Not all of them worked for me but that was a good thing as it also gave insight into what I found was successful in this particular narrative form.

I was able to read a copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers in exchange for an unbiased review and would recommend it to poetry lovers, especially those of this deceptively simple form of writing, which in this instance concentrates on the five senses that guide our very existence.

Great book! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
Thanks to the Publisher for giving me the opportunity to read it in advance
