Download or read book Walden by Haiku written by Ian Marshall and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010-01-25 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this intriguing literary experiment, Ian Marshall presents a collection of nearly three hundred haiku that he extracted from Henry David Thoreau’s Walden and documents the underlying similarities between Thoreau's prose and the art of haiku. Although Thoreau would never have encountered the Japanese haiku tradition, the way in which the most important ideas in Walden find expression in the most haikulike language suggests that Thoreau at Walden Pond and the haiku master Basho at his "old pond" might have drunk at the same well. Walden and the tradition of haiku share an aesthetic that embodies ideas in natural images, dissolves boundaries between self and world, emphasizes simplicity, and honors both solitude and humble, familiar objects. Marshall examines each of these aesthetic principles and offers a relevant collection of "found" haiku. In the second part of the book, he explains his process of finding the haiku in the text, breaking down each chapter of Walden to highlight the imagery and poetic language embedded in the most powerful passages. Marshall's exploration not only provides a fresh perspective on haiku, but also sheds new light on Thoreau's much-studied text and lays the foundation for a clearer understanding of the aesthetics of American nature writing.

This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poem by Matsuo Basho (1644-1694), a haiku master, struck me while I was on a three-day silent retreat. old pond, a frog jumps in, sound of water. (Translated by Robert Hass) I dove into the poet's silent pond. I swam with a school of white koi and Basho's small green frog. We played a game of hide-and-seek among the long thick roots of pure white lotus lilies. Ever since then, I pause to appreciate nature and life around me. I focus on events and objects that I once glossed over: clouds, gardens, and birds. Sounds play in my mind as they accompany me on quiet walks. Words and phrases form into beautiful unexpected designs, much as my old wooden kaleidoscope flashes colorful pictures into my eyes. My trusty Thesaurus and I transformed my thoughts into the fifty-four haiku poems that make up Through the Prism of Haiku: views of nature and life. Each of the nine sections in this book portrays different aspects of nature and life. I sincerely hope that this small collection will bring as much light to your life as it has to mine.

Download or read book The Haiku Bible written by Christopher Jay Suehr and published by Resource Publications (CA). This book was released on 2012-10-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description: The sacred Scriptures, stylized in poetry After thorough readings through the Bible and study of biblical languages, The Haiku Bible started as an effort to make better sense of the complex and nuanced anthology. While rich in content and layered with meaning, the overarching themes of Scripture can be easily lost in the chasm of time and context that separate us from the original authors. Reflecting the styles and genres of the different books, The Haiku Bible weaves fresh insight into the ancient writings, while finding the threads that tie together the tapestry of Scripture. Endorsements: ""The Haiku Bible defies easy categorization but invites varied use. Paired with the Bible, this brief text has rich potential for devotional use. It can also be a helpful companion for Bible studies, confirmation classes, and even liturgical use. The clever and careful expression of each biblical book in only seventeen syllables invites prayerful reflection and stimulates new insights into familiar texts."" --Brian Maas, Bishop, Nebraska Synod ELCA ""In this striking, brief book, Suehr uses a highly structured Japanese poetic form to elicit creative reflections from the core of each biblical book. Because The Haiku Bible uses only seventeen syllables to describe each book, the resulting statements are evocative and imaginative rather than comprehensive. . . . This book will serve as an excellent source for meditation and prayer."" --William O. Avery, Professor Emeritus, Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg ""The study of the Bible brings renewal for life. Suehr provides an important contribution with The Haiku Bible. A student of Scripture will find its content a way to refresh understanding and see clearly the history of God's saving love. I recommend The Haiku Bible as a helpful resource and for its unique approach."" --Donald J. McCoid, Bishop Emeritus, Southwestern Pennsylvania Synod ""The Haiku Bible is a delight to read and contemplate. Suehr demonstrates a keen understanding of both the Japanese poetic form of haiku and the core thrust of each biblical book. . . . Readers will be able to savor the simple complexity of both the Bible and haiku through Suehr's deft and insightful presentations."" --Richard Carlson, Professor of New Testament Language, Literature, and Theology, Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg About the Contributor(s): Chris Suehr is a student at Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg. He has served congregations in southern Pennsylvania and Lincoln, Nebraska. The Haiku Bible is his first book.

Download or read book Rhetoric and Sociolinguistics in Times of Global Crisis written by Hanc?-Azizoglu, Eda Ba?ak and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-04-02 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crises often leave people in vulnerable situations in which a moment in time can function as a turning point of a catastrophic situation for the better or worse. From another perspective, the concept of crisis signifies losing control of everyday privileges, such as that of a pandemic. Therefore, the interaction of rhetoric and sociolinguistics in times of crisis is inevitable. It is crucial to internalize how rhetoric, an effective skill from ancient times to make meaning of sociological breakthrough events, changed the course of events as well as the fate of humanity. Within the same context, research should focus on diverse disciplines to explore, investigate, and analyze the concept of “crisis” from global, sociolinguistic, and rhetorical perspectives. Rhetoric and Sociolinguistics in Times of Global Crisis explores and situates the concept of global crisis within rhetoric and sociolinguistics as well as other disciplines such as education, technology, society, language, and politics. The chapters included bridge the gap to initiate a discussion on understanding how rhetoric and sociolinguistics can create critical awareness for individuals, societies, and learning environments during times of crisis. While highlighting concepts such as rhetorical evolution, political rhetoric, digital writing, and communications, this book is a valuable reference tool for language teachers, writing experts, communications specialists, politicians and government officials, academicians, researchers, and students working and studying in fields that include rhetoric, education, linguistics, culture, media, political science, and communications.
