Presenting more than two hundred of the greatest haiku ever written about the game. There are moments in every baseball game that make fans catch their breath: the pause while a pitcher looks in for the sign, the moment a cocksure rookie gets picked off first, or the instant a batter lashes a game-winning homer into the night sky, just before the sell-out crowd explodes onto its feet. Haiku captures these moments like no other poetic form, and Baseball Haiku captures the sights, the sounds, the smells, and the emotions of the game like no previous collection. Some of the most important haiku poets of both America and Japan are featured in this anthology; including Jack Kerouac, a longtime baseball fan who pioneered English-language haiku; Alan Pizzarelli, one of the top American haiku and senryu poets of the last thirty years; and Masaoka Shiki, one of the four great pillars of Japanese haiku—a towering figure—who was instrumental in popularizing baseball in Japan during the 1890s. With over two hundred poems spanning more than a century of ball playing, Baseball Haiku reveals the intricate ways in which this enduring and indelible sport—which is played on a field, under an open sky—has always been linked to nature and the seasons. And just as a haiku happens in a timeless now, so too does Baseball Haiku evoke those unforgettable images that capture the actions and atmospheres of the national pastime: each poem resonates like the lonely sound of cleats echoing in the tunnel as a grizzled veteran leaves his final game. The largest collection of haiku and senryu on baseball ever assembled, Baseball Haiku is an extraordinary treasure for any true baseball fan.

He brings us THE GAME with skill and grace. It is an inside the park home run” -- Clifford Alexander

Fast Women Beautiful Fast women beautiful horses banjos bluegrass bourbon it's a region it's a religion it's a way of life and on the first Saturday in May it all comes together for two heart-pounding minutes at Churchill Downs race- track in Louisville someday you gotta go there sometime you gotta see it by god it's wonderful it's amazing there's nothing else like it it's the Kentucky Derby "One of the first things that drew me to Daniel Barth's poetry was the immediacy of his work, that is, how his imagery and subject matter pulled my focus into everyday life, made me pay attention to the elusive present. Whether he is telling us about driving a delivery truck in Louisville, Kentucky, for the Coca-Cola Bottling Company, or describing a Zen master sitting in the sun doing a crossword puzzle, Dan knows what it takes to remind us to seize the day."-From the Introduction by Hal Zina Bennett
