First Katha book of Haiku, Senryu, Tanka and Haibun

“This is a lovely poetry collection that can introduce young readers to lesser-known poetic forms of Japan. What is special about the book is how the spare quality of these forms is adapted beautifully in the Indian context. The strong imagery of these poems reflects that of the Indian world full of textures. The endnotes provide useful ways of understanding these forms and poems.”
