How to Write Haiku and Other Short Poems

Apparently a Scholastic school catalog exclusive, this is a wonderful introduction to appreciating and then writing about "the haiku moment" in a way that is natural to English speakers and not bound to the 5-7-5 syllable count. The author encourages young poets to find a writing partner with whom to collaborate, receive feedback, and enjoy sharing poems. Also covers the Japanese forms of senryu and renga, as well as the English forms of limericks and clerihews. Well done with a variety of ideas for writing poetry and then collecting it into booklets or otherwise presenting it to the world.
