Originally published in 1988 by Black Moss Press, Selected Haiku by Nicholas Virgilio was a groundbreaking collection of American Haiku poetry that captured the complex and gritty reality of Camden through haiku. This collection Virgilio’s haiku features some of his most well-known and deeply personal pieces. Nearly 150 haiku are collected in this 80-page volume. These are haiku that call you back repeatedly to events and people who deserve remembering, to moments when something rare and special happened, even if the rest of the world passed it by. 

This book is the Second, Augmented Edition of Selected Haiku, and includes an introduction by Rod Willmot. This version of Selected Haiku has been out of print for many years, and there are a limited number of copies available.
