Book of Haikus is a collection of haiku poetry by Jack Kerouac. It was first published in 2003 and edited by Regina Weinreich. It consists of some 500 poems selected from a corpus of nearly 1,000 haiku jotted down by Kerouac in small notebooks.[1]
Although most of the poetry in Book of Haikus is original, some haiku are paraphrased in Kerouac's prose works:
The top of Jack
Mountain—done in
By golden clouds[2]
also recurs in The Dharma Bums.[3] The collection also contains a handful of haiku published earlier, for instance in Scattered Poems.
