The Haiku Box: Book, Journal, Inspirations

Rating:
Summary: A $3 book in a $20 package.
Review: This poetry "set" is not worth the money. The book is a slim handbook that has a few interesting suggestions and descriptions but is simply not worth the price. You could find all the info on a good poetry website. The journal that is included would cost you about $1 at any dept. store. I was excited at the Haiku "tiles" for stimulating the art. They turned out to be 30 or so words like "pheasant" on thin cardboard strips. Not well made and how many people encounter "pheasants" in their Haiku writing experiences. Haiku dollars would be better spent on an anthology from master poets and let them be your guide.
