This is the world's first "haiku novel"--a haiku-peppered work of fiction. It's the story of Buck-Teeth, a provincial poet and fictitious student of Issa ("Cup-of-Tea"), who in the course of his training travels to old Edo and contemporary New Orleans, falls in and out of love, considers the many schools of haiku, and ultimately learns what it means to be a poet.
