Scott Mason’s new book, The Wonder Code: Discover the Way of Haiku and See the World with New Eyes, was introduced last month at Haiku North America 2017 in Santa Fe, NM and received there with great enthusiasm. Cor van den Heuvel claims that no one since R. H. Blyth and Harold Henderson has more successfully shown “how such a small form of poetry is able to create works that can move us more vividly and directly than longer ones.” Michael McClintock asserts that “The Wonder Code is a superb piece of work and a book that I think over time will be read and re-read for generations.” More information, including how to order, can be found at
