Haiku are little three-line poems of Japanese origin, having five syllables on lines one and three, and seven on line two. In 99 Haiku: A Book of Precious Few Words, Frost challenges himself to accurately convey an observation, a serious point to ponder, a humorous quip, a unique perspective - each in exactly 17 syllables. To clearly present such notions in the exacting, demanding poetic form seen here - and do so 99 times - is remarkable. Discover for yourself how such tiny poems can indeed provide the reader with unexpected enjoyment and enlightenment.
