It’s Haiku Review week, when we collate all of the month’s best Haiku Reviews into one handy seventeen syllable package. Over to our friends at Blueprint: Review, who watch a lot of movies, and clearly also write a lot of poetry.
As June flies past in a blur of brilliant sunshine and torrential rain, we’re sitting inside, watching films and writing short form Japanese poetry. What else?

Luckily, our friends on Twitter are always ready with insights and opinions which are just as on point as their syllable counts. Here’s a selection of June 2016’s best haiku reviews.
