Al Fogel, author of the groundbreaking "Holding Hand-Helds : Senryu for the Cyber Age" (Amazon paperback and kindle eBook..2nd Printing) showcases his exceptional talent and skills with over 60 memorable mostly senryu and poems that he has chosen--especially for this book.
"These are the ones that hold a special place for me and continue to resonate deeply upon re-readings. Most have appeared in haiku and senryu journals so I'm assuming the editors also found something special in each one and hope you will too.
My first book, "Holding Hand-Helds: Senryu for the Cyber Age" was comprised mostly of humorous cyber-related senryu. This time, I've selected senryu and a few haiku and haibun) that I consider emotionally impactful.
English Language senryu has gone through a transformation and the demarcation between senryu and haiku is becoming thinner and less clearly defined.
it's a haiku
no, it's a senryu, no
a chameleon
--Al Fogel
But whether it's a haiku, senryu or haibun, my rule of thumb was simple: if it's poignant and not intended to be humorous, I have included it
.
In addition, I have provided a brief commentary on a few selected poems.
Again I want to thank AHA poets who helped workshop some of these into publishable shape. Thanks also to Jim Kacian and THF forumworkshop and haijin poets for their continued support.
And a loud shout out to Jane Reichhold who humbled me when she considered my "Basho's frog" haiku among her top 10 favorites" (included in the book with commentary by Jane)
