Review of 'Baseball haiku' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

A very good introduction and conclusion, fun intros to each of the poets, and of course Haiku (and Senryu). As the editor points out, the Haiku is uniquely suited to Baseball; especially the pastoral setting and lack of a time limit. My favorite from this volume:

carrying his glove
the boy's dog follows him
to the baseball field
