Book excerpt: Within the pages of P.J. Reed's gorgeous collection, Haiku Summer, you will find a magical selection of haiku which will transport you to the halcyon days of summer in the northern hemisphere. Summer is a happy season of warmth and friendship. It is the smell of BBQs - of sausages sizzling and smoke wafting across the streets. It is the sound of parties, glasses chinking, and people laughing. It is water fights in the garden and slowly deflating blow-up pools, gradually filling with grass and leaves. In Haiku Summer, P.J. Reed has captured the very essence of summer. This beautiful book of poetry will give you a happy memory of summer for every day of your life.

Download or read book Essential Haiku written by Hass and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 1995-08-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American readers have been fascinated, since their exposure to Japanese culture late in the nineteenth century, with the brief Japanese poem called the hokku or haiku. The seventeen-syllable form is rooted in a Japanese tradition of close observation of nature, of making poetry from subtle suggestion. Infused by its great practitioners with the spirit of Zen Buddhism, the haiku has served as an example of the power of direct observation to the first generation of American modernist poets like Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams and also as an example of spontaneity and Zen alertness to the new poets of the 1950's. This definite collection brings together in fresh translations by an American poet the essential poems of the three greatest masters: Matsuo Basho in the seventeenth century; Yosa Buson in the eighteenth century; and Kobayashi Issa in the early nineteenth century. Robert Haas has written a lively and informed introduction, provided brief examples by each poet of their work in the halibun, or poetic prose form, and included informal notes to the poems. This is a useful and inspiring addition to The Essential Poets series.

Download or read book Haiku written by Peter Washington and published by Everyman's Library. This book was released on 2003-11-11 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simple yet capable of great complexity, the haiku is a tightly structured verse form that has a remarkable power to distill the essence of a moment keenly perceived. For centuries confined to a small literary elite in Japan, the writing of haiku is now practiced all over the world by those who are fascinated by its combination of technical challenge, expressive means, and extreme concentration. This anthology brings together hundreds of haiku by the Japanese masters–Basho, Issa, Buson, Shiki–with superb examples from nineteenth- and twentieth-century writers. The pioneering translator R. H. Blyth believed that the spirit of haiku is present in all great poetry; inspired by him, the editor of this volume has included lines from such poets as Wordsworth, Keats, Tennyson, Thoreau, and Hopkins, presented here in haiku form. Following them are haiku and haiku-influenced poems of the twentieth century–from Ezra Pound’s “In a Station of the Metro” to William Carlos Williams’s “Prelude to Winter,” and from the irreverence of Jack Kerouac to the lyricism of Langston Hughes. The result is a collection as compact, dynamic, and scintillating as the form itself.
