The history and forms of haiku and related Japanese poetry types are discussed here, & there remains within this book a lot of name-dropping amongst non-Japanese practitioners of this enduring and resilient art form.
Perhaps the most interesting part of this book remains the part where North American and European variations of this form are discussed, as well as contemporary non-Japanese practitioners of those same forms utilized within the context of poetic literatures within the English speaking world.
