Baseball Haiku: The Best Haiku Written About the Game

Editor's Pick for February 6, 2007

Margaret Heilbrun, Library Journal -- Library Journal, 2/6/2007

Baseball Haiku: The Best Haiku Written About the Game. Norton. Apr. 2007. ed. & trans. by Cor van den Heuvel & Nanae Tamura. 240p. ISBN 0-393-06219-9 [ISBN 978-0-393-06219-9]. $19.95.

Not one of those parody collections, this is a gathering of elegantly observed moments capturing the interplay between baseball and the other seasons: "summer afternoon/ the long fly ball to center field/ takes its time." This collection will inspire some ball fans to be poets and some poets to be ballplayers. With excellent intros about the poetic forms and their practitioners.
