The Haiku Apprentice by Abigail Friedman was reviewed in The Japan Times on Sunday, January 7. The reviewer, David Burleigh, writes that Friedman's account of being a haiku apprentice is "notable for its frankness and enthusiasm...Friedman has made a lively narrative out of the things she learned..." We couldn't agree more! And we still love Friedman's own, bilingual (French/English) blog, The Stone Lantern.
