Japanese Forms in American Poetry

Beyond Haiku

Japanese Forms in American Poetry cover

Description

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, Beyond Haiku demonstrates how these poetic forms have existed alongside haiku for more than a century. Over time, they have gained popularity among both haiku and non-haiku poets alike, leading to a wide variety of innovative approaches.
