Download or read book Coronavirus Haiku written by Worker Writers School and published by . This book was released on 2021-05 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Worker Writers School supports writers from one of New York City's most ubiquitous yet least-heard populations: low-wage workers. Mark Nowak, a writer and founding director of the school, presents a selection of haiku written by "frontline workers" during the Covid 19 crisis. The poets included here had already been studying examples of the form and its connection to political resistance from seventeenth-century Japan to the Black Arts Movement of the twentieth century, as well as its capacity to amplify voices of everyday life. These "coronavirus haiku" convey moments of protest, solace, wonder, certainty, love, and strife. The writers in this anthology hail from the school's worker center partners in New York City including Domestic Workers United, New York Taxi Workers Alliance, Damayan Migrant Workers Association, Street Vendor Project, and Retail Action Project: Thomas Barzey, Kerl Brooks, Estabon Chimilio, Nimfa Despabiladeras, Lorraine Garnett, Davidson Garrett, Seth Goldman, Christine Lewis, Doreen McGill, Alando McIntyre, Kelebohile Nkheranye, Alfreda Small, and Paloma Zapata.

Book excerpt: Dear Reader, I stare longingly out at my panicked city assured, and ready. We thank you for reading Corona-ku: A Quarantined Conversation in Haiku. We believe the response to coronavirus had challenged us all in different ways. We also believe this collection is a slice of ordinary people navigating extraordinary times and experiences. We also believe this voice here has tremendous potential since this experience was so global in nature. This is also a call to action for all artists to share their art as part of the human experience, even in the face of challenge because the world needs strong art, culture, and voice. We are two everyday Americans. Eric is a disaster coordinator and entrepreneur consulting for New York City and various governmental disaster relief teams throughout the United States and John is a high school English teacher in an inner-city school in Reno, Nevada. We used haiku as a coping strategy to get through the struggle of the quarantine. It is at once a relief and outlet but also an inspiration and a work of encouragement. Transitions are hard; change forces growing pains here. There. Seeds split to expand. We hope you find a connection to the conversation. We hope it sparks a little creativity in you. We look forward to the art that advances the world, our experience, our development. Cheers, Eric and John

Download or read book The Time of Strangeness Haiku Pandemic Inspired to Keep Someone Sane written by Craig Allen Nelson and published by Go to Publish. This book was released on 2021-08-09 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2020, as the isolation of the worldwide pandemic spread, I explored ways to fill the empty space in my life by creating something positive that might also enrich the lives of others. Over the years, I've enjoyed sharing my photographs from all seven continents with friends, perhaps sometimes to their chagrin! Photography, and the simple structure of traditional Japanese Haiku, sparked my Pandemic Haiku flame; I attempted writing one, then continued to feed the fire and a new passion was born. During the "Time of Strangeness," I posted over 100 Haiku with my photographs on social media, where the positive comments encouraged me to continue. My fascination with the simple 5-7-5 syllabic structure of Haiku developed while teaching young children to read, most of whom enjoyed the puzzle-solving search for meaningful words with the correct number of syllables. Haiku usually contain a surprising twist in the third line; one that particularly intrigued the children was about a flying kite that when it fell to the ground was found to have no soul. I strived to include the unexpected in the third line of my Haiku.

Book excerpt: My pandemic preface is likely not much different from yours. The switch from "normal" to not was sudden. We didn't know that by early spring, 2020, we would enter a pandemic that would snatch millions of human lives, and engender fear and grief in those of us who lived. How to survive these sorrows? Taking photographs and writing haiku helped me. Both the camera and the pen guided me into recognizing and appreciating beauty within the simple experience of daily life. This act felt even more necessary when navigating hardship. Through this book of photos and haiku, I invite you to listen more deeply to your own wounds, and to find glimmers of healing through the beauty that also fills your life.
