Following the tradition of Basho, Buson, Shiki, Issa, and other poets, Kerouac experimented with this centuries-old genre, taking it beyond strict syllable counts into what he believed was the forms essence. He incorporated his American haiku in novels and in his correspondence, notebooks, journals, sketchbooks, and recordings.In Book of Haikus, Kerouac scholar Regina Weinreich has supplemented a core haiku manuscript from Kerouacs archives with a generous selection of the rest of his haiku, from both published and unpublished sources.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51533857980704,"sku":"NEW014200264X","price":16.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81f08ANZaHL.jpg?v=1777353249","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/book-of-haikus-penguin-poets-014200264x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
