Beskrivning

Analyzing the poetic forms of haibun, linked verse, senryu, and tanka, this collection argues that these traditional Japanese methods have established themselves in American poetry.Beginning with its Japanese origins and continuing through its development in the United States, the contributors demonstrate how these poetic forms have existed alongside haiku for more than a century while drawing attention to their use within contemporary poetry. Over time, they have gained popularity among both haiku and non-haiku poets alike, leading to a wide variety of innovative approaches.

From Basho’s frogpond, beyond the barbed wire of Japanese-American internment camps, to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the murder of George Floyd, haiku, tanka, senryu, and other originally Japanese verse forms have entered the marrow of modern and contemporary American poetry. Just how this transfusion took place—and how it continues to register in works by the likes of Ezra Pound, Hilda Doolittle, Carl Sadakichi Hartmann, Sonia Sanchez, Langston Hughes, and Lenard D. Moore—are the animating questions of this insightful collection of essays by leading scholars. A must read for anyone interested in American as well as Japanese poetry!
