Patches of Padgett

Look for several new additions by Ron Padgett on the Poems by Others page:

• “First Drift”

• “The Japanese Garden”

• “Advice to Young Writers”

And look for these new poems on the Poems About Haiku page, also by Padgett:

• “Now You See It”

• “Whatever It Is”

• “Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Haiku”

• “Haiku”

And in case you missed them, also check out Padgett’s “Haiku” (not the same as the preceding one) and “How to Be Perfect.” I find many of Padgett’s poems utterly disarming, with an unpretentious immediacy much like the best haiku.
