The Classic Tradition of Haiku: An Anthology

I'm in love with this edition. I normally don't like reading translated poems, as most of it is lost in translation, but this one was perfect for me. It starts up with an introduction to Haiku, from its origin to its evolution. Then you read in chronological order the most notable Haiku, since the 15th century till the 20th. Every poet is introduced, all poems are written in Japanese (so you can at least see the musicality of each one, even if you don't understand the language) then translated in different styles, and every reference of Japanese culture or other is explained.

That edition has made it very easy to love the art of Haiku, and I recommend it to anyone who's curious about them.
