Download or read book American Haiku written by Toru Kiuchi and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Haiku: New Readings explores the history and development of haiku by American writers, examining individual writers. In the late nineteenth century, Japanese poetry influenced through translation the French Symbolist poets, from whom British and American Imagist poets, Amy Lowell, Ezra Pound, T. E. Hulme, and John Gould Fletcher, received stimulus. Since the first English-language hokku (haiku) written by Yone Noguchi in 1903, one of the Imagist poet Ezra Pound’s well-known haiku-like poem, “In A Station of the Metro,” published in 1913, is most influential on other Imagist and later American haiku poets. Since the end of World War II many Americans and Canadians tried their hands at writing haiku. Among them, Richard Wright wrote over four thousand haiku in the final eighteen months of his life in exile in France. His Haiku: This Other World, ed. Yoshinobu Hakutani and Robert L. Tener (1998), is a posthumous collection of 817 haiku Wright himself had selected. Jack Kerouac, a well-known American novelist like Richard Wright, also wrote numerous haiku. Kerouac’s Book of Haikus, ed. Regina Weinreich (Penguin, 2003), collects 667 haiku. In recent decades, many other American writers have written haiku: Lenard Moore, Sonia Sanchez, James A. Emanuel, Burnell Lippy, and Cid Corman. Sonia Sanchez has two collections of haiku: Like the Singing Coming off the Drums (Boston: Beacon Press, 1998) and Morning Haiku (Boston: Beacon Press, 2010). James A. Emanuel’s Jazz from the Haiku King (Broadside Press, 1999) is also a unique collection of haiku. Lenard Moore, author of his haiku collections The Open Eye (1985), has been writing and publishing haiku for over 20 years and became the first African American to be elected as President of the Haiku Society of America. Burnell Lippy’s haiku appears in the major American haiku journals, Where the River Goes: The Nature Tradition in English-Language Haiku (2013).Cid Corman is well-known not only as a haiku poet but a translator of Japanese ancient and modern haiku poets: Santoka, Walking into the Wind (Cadmus Editions, 1994).
Download or read book Walden by Haiku written by Ian Marshall and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 270 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.
Download or read book Trails Streams and Old Rails of Southeast Pennsylvania written by T M Shorewick and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-17 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haiku is used here as a mechanism to capture bits of motion frozen in a photograph and stimulate feelings which reanimate the image for the viewer. Furthermore each viewer might have a different consideration of the verse's prompting. Haiku's very ambiguity in the face of specific reality is what makes it delightful and provocative. In some sense I hope that haiku turns these still Images that follow into, however briefly, a feeling similar to what the reader might experience were they transported to the living, moving site from which the photograph originated.The focus of this book's coverage is Delaware and Chester Counties of South East Pennsylvania. Delaware County has been experiencing development, in the European or modern sense, since the arrival of the Finns several centuries prior. Lesser developed Chester County is currently experiencing development at a rapid pace.Thanks to local, county, and state authorities and some private foundations we do have excellent parks which preserve the woodlands and streams which form the backbone of this book.Images in this book were taken largely at Ridley Creek State Park, dcnr.pa.gov; Hibernia County Park, chesco.org/1743/Hibernia-park; and the lands of the Newlin Grist Mill, newlingristmill.org. The Newlin land holds the remains of the abandoned rail line which features at the end of this book.

In essence, it is about searching for a lost home. The book also reflects starkly different landscapes, flora and fauna of two countries--India and the United States/ These haikus also provide a message that is both cautionary and instructive, difficult yet uplifting. Ultimately, it is an inspiring tale of how to survive as an immigrant woman and succeed in America. It is an all-American story-and a timely one given the atmosphere created by the current powers-that-be at the national level.
