Reviews for Favor of Crows
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Most of these poems are not true haikus, despite the subtitle. Haiku are three line poems of five syllables, seven syllables, and a concluding five syllable line. Vizenor's poems are three lines each, but with 2-3 syllables in the first line, 5-6 syllables in the second line, and 2-3 syllables in the final line. The poems are generally about nature, which is the traditional theme for haiku poetry. The poems are lovely in themselves, however they are not haiku as advertised. I purchased this book because I wanted to read multiple examples of haiku, to inspire my own writing of this poetic form.
