Mare Liberum: Haiku & Tanka by Jacob Salzer Pdf

Mare Liberum is a collection of haiku and tanka by Jacob Salzer inspired by water and the sea. "Jacob Salzer has named this collection of haiku and tanka Mare Liberum which translated from Latin means The Freedom of the Seas. His poems throughout this collection are written with strong undertones of the link between water and humans, our place within this world of water we call Earth. Salzer captures the essence of haiku and tanka, its fluidity like water itself, its lightness (karumi) and its sense of place. This is a fine collection written by a seasoned writer of short form poetry." -Brendon Kent, Head Instructor in English Language Haiku online for Haiku University (Tokyo), Member of The British Haiku Society, Member and English Adjuster for The World Haiku Association Anthologies ""...this is a compass for the soul, leading the reader into gentle places of peaceful contemplation..."" -Michelle Hyatt, Certified Health and Wellness Coach and Yoga/Meditation Teacher

Thousand Petals by Jinna Johnson Pdf

This is a book of American haiku. The form is Japanese, forged by the Japanese genius to express the uniqueness of everyday life. The author writes with a refreshing, simple style, capturing the experience clearly in a few words. The reader cannot help but finish the poems with a greater appreciation of the simple things in life. The haiku book is divided into two sentences, a large one of haiku and a smaller one of eight tanka. The tanka is a form of Japanese poetry that is two longer than the haiku, the haiku being of three lines and the tanka of five. The haiku section has eight subsections, most of which are about nature; eg., the first section is entitled "Trees and Leaves." Each poem is self-contained and can be enjoyed even when isolated from the others.

The Way of Tanka by Naomi Beth Wakan Pdf

The Way of Tanka is an approachable yet comprehensive examination of the Japanese form of poetry known as tanka. The author, Naomi Beth Wakan, discusses its roots in early Japanese courts where it was considered the poetry of lovers, as well as its adaptation to western culture and the characteristics that separate it from the more popular form of Japanese poetry: haiku. Throughout, Wakan weaves her story of personal self-transformation as she moved from the more disciplined writing of haiku to the more metaphorical and philosophical writing of tanka. Numerous examples of tanka are provided, and the rich explanation of the experience of writing tanka encourages readers to write their own tanka while remaining open to the possibilities it provides for personal growth.

Always Filling, Always Full by Margaret Chula Pdf

"This book is welcome proof of the universality and the particularity of the human heart."--Jane Hirshfield The ancient Japanese form of "tanka" has been used since literature was first recorded in the "Kojiki" in 712. By the 1600s, however, tanka had fallen out of favor. The form was revived in the early 1900s, and has grown steadily since. "I do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; I seek the things they sought," said Basho, and the same could be said by Chula. This collection blends Japanese tradition with an American sensibility to produce poems concise, moving, and filled with vivid perception of the range of human feeling. Maggie Chula spent twelve years living and studying in Kyoto, Japan, and has published three collections of "haiku." She lives in Portland, Oregon.

Like Haiku by Don Raye Pdf

This collection of Japanese haiku by American singer and composer, Don Raye is a delightful contribution to the world of haiku written in the English language. Like Haiku sings as haiku should—of life and joy, and sorrow and the seasons. Nor is this surprising for Mr. Raye is a successful song writer. For him no subject is too trivial, and none is too deep to put into poetry. He writes for Hope and History; Women and Wanderlust; Soul Brothers and a Seeing Eye Friend; Ego and Fado; Fallen Angels and Innate Frailty; Conscience and Caprice. n the author's introduction, he tells us that "Form is, in itself, subordinate to the expression within it. These sketches of mine are not haiku in the true sense. The are 'like' haiku. Some, perhaps, may be platitudinous, some abstruse to a reader who has not shared with me an exquisite flick of emotion at a sight or a sound. But no matter. Life is not a minted coin, heads and tails for anyone. It is a personal pastiche—nuances between sunrise and sunset, stormy or serene, comic or sad. it's all to be viewed in one's own kaleidoscope."
