"Daihaiku" and "Haikaiju"
Magic Dirt: The Best of Sean Williams, 2008, Ed. Russell B Farr (Ticonderoga)
Daikaiju! Giant Monster Tales, March 2005, Eds. Robert Hood & Robin Pen (Agog! Press) (first publication)
A popular performance piece, this poems combine the very small and the very large: haiku and giant monsters.
"Poetry is not what I would automatically link to daikaiju stories, and poetry from a best-selling fantasy author such as Sean Williams for some reason seemed even less likely. Yet Williams has provided some delightful haiku poems that even caught the attention of a non-appreciator of poetry such as myself. The combination of this Japanese art form with the Japanese-inspired monsters complemented the collection nicely." (Internet Review of SF)
