Haiku, Etc.

Více o knize

Haiku, Etc. takes a modern approach to haiku and its related forms, without losing sight of a variety of traditions. The book contains three sections. First, is "before me the black road curves," which includes haiku, senryu, and tanka poems. Next comes a selection of three renga titled "crossings." Closing the book is a section titled "outline of distant trees," a selection of eyeku (haiku written in response to pictures -- photos not included). Instead of the tradition arrangement of poems by seasons, the author has elected to present most of the pieces in a reverse chronological order, allowing the readers to take their own journeys in and out of the images and events.
