Download or read book Pageant of Seasons written by Helen Stiles Chenoweth and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2007-03-15 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of Japanese haiku written by an American poet Helen Chenoweth. The author has used a language that is all American in association, but very much enriched by her love for things Japanese. "Poetry in Japan is as universal as air. It is read by everybody, composed by almost everybody, irrespective of class and condition." This statement by Lafcadio Hearn deeply impressed Helen Chenoweth. In course of her comprehensive studies in the art of writing and teaching poetry, she became enchanted by the Japanese haiku, in which the subtlest meanings and feelings can be expressed in three short lines. Pageant of Seasons offers many lyrical haiku, some of which are centered around the Pacific Ocean. Other haiku show nature in all its facets of growing. These poems create a kaleidoscope of charming images and experiences to which each of us will attach his own meanings.
Download or read book American Haiku written by John Ross Jr. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Haiku: Fifty-Stars, Fifty-States plus the District of Columbia is a bountiful collection of over six hundred haiku (thirteen for each state) highlighting the geographical splendor of our spacious American landscape. In this vast collection, John Ross venerates the official flowers, trees, birds, (and state capitals and mottos as well) along with distinguishing wildlife, in conjunction with the natural land and water formations common to each state. Choosing a precise triptych-lined horizontal approach, governed by a customary 5-7-5 syllabic pattern, Ross has created haiku with a time honored sensibility toward Zen brevity and spirituality. Utilizing colorful bold language, he seems to evoke a sense of meditative petition toward his overall construal of America's natural wonders, one perhaps best exemplified by Theodore Roosevelt when after camping in Yosemite National Park wrote: "It was like lying in a great solemn cathedral, far vaster, and more beautiful, than any built by the hand of man." As you read this new volume of American Haiku, may you come to value more fully America's true grandeur as exemplified by her valleys, canyons, buttes, rivers, lakes, volcanoes, geysers and other striking innate wonders found in her cities, national parks and designated forest preserves.

Download or read book 21st Century Haiku written by Paul Judges and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to my English dictionary haiku means: amusement in verse; Oxford Dictionaries differ slightly with: light verse, and add that it's a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five-seven-five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world; and also that it can be a poem in English written in the form of a haiku. The great haiku master Basho died in 1694 at the age of fifty; it was common in those days to observe a few other rules of composition, which many of us have deliberately disregarded in the micro-poetic world of today. Twitter, with its limitation of 140 characters, has surprisingly provided a platform for all manner of short form poetry celebrating many of the mundane, and eternal themes such as love, life, death, and the natural world. Perhaps, even Basho would accept that in the 21st century we should be allowed to express ourselves more freely and decide the contents of the haiku rule book - if we have one. Simplicity & beauty should be the main aim.

Download or read book Haiku Moment written by Bruce Ross and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12-27 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kagero Nikki, translated here as The Gossamer Years, belongs to the same period as the celebrated Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikuibu. This remarkably frank autobiographical diary and personal confession attempts to describe a difficult relationship as it reveals two tempestuous decades of the author's unhappy marriage and her growing indignation at rival wives and mistresses. Too impetuous to be satisfied as a subsidiary wife, this beautiful (and unnamed) noblewoman of the Heian dynasty protests the marriage system of her time in one of Japanese literature's earliest attempts to portray difficult elements of the predominant social hierarchy. A classic work of early Japanese prose, The Gossamer Years is an important example of the development of Heian literature, which, at its best, represents an extraordinary flowering of realistic expression, an attempt, unique for its age, to treat the human condition with frankness and honesty. A timeless and intimate glimpse into the culture of ancient Japan, this translation by Edward Seidensticker paints a revealing picture of married life in the Heian period.
