Summary: A diverse and generous collection
Comment: A New Resonance provides a fine presentation of the work of 20 haiku poets from around the world who are just beginning to gain recognition. Most of these poets have not been substantially anthologized before, and it's nice to have the opportunity to get to know their work through these generous selections.

The book includes a short, vague introduction and brief introductions to each author. It would have been more helpful to learn of the editors' goals and criteria for selection in the general introduction, and it might have been nice to learn more about the poets or their aesthetics in the introduction to each selection of poems, but what really matters here are the poems themselves, and they are consistently excellent.

This book is not intended as an introduction to the art of haiku -- it presupposes a certain familiarity with the genre, and so if you're looking for an introduction, look to The Haiku Anthology edited by Cor van den Heuvel or The Haiku Handbook by William J. Higginson. A New Resonance is, though, a wonderful addition to any serious haiku library.
