New York City Haiku
New York City Haiku | Readers of the New York Times
55 posts | 6 read | 15 to read
One hundred fifty haiku on New York City in just three lines each. New York City Haiku collects 150 of the best haiku inspired by the Big Apple. These succinct three-line poems express not only the personal experiences of every New Yorker (or New Yorker at heart), but also the universal truths about living and loving everything that New York has to offer as well. Written by poets of all ages and from across the country, this affordable and giftable collection creates an honest and often hilarious volume chronicling what New York is all about. A must-have for anyone who aspires to "make it there," New York City Haiku is a thoughtful and fun testament to the city and its people.

Mehso-so

In 2014 the NYT called for haiku submissions on the city. They received almost 3000 entries and published their 150 favorites. A few were poignant, a lot were funny. It was like reading a little microcosm of the city, but I didn‘t love it. Contemporary poetry is the one thing I often have to buy if I want to read a specific volume since the library doesn‘t have everything, but I‘m not sure this one will make it into my permanent collection.

A great dip into a collective impression of NYC from all those who live there. I was previously not much of a fan of haiku but I love combining them into one long extended thematic poem. (I read this in 2018 but didn‘t get a chance to post)

MidnightBookGirl Very cool! Just ordered it from my bookstore. 6y
