Description
Haiku and Modernist Poetics by Y. Hakutani explores the origins and evolution of haiku in Japan and its impact on modernist poetry. This study reveals how haiku has influenced artistic, cultural, and literary exchange between East and West. Hakutani examines the connections between haiku and notable poets such as Ezra Pound's Imagism, which he shows originated from haiku. The book also discusses some of the finest haiku written by prominent American poets like Jack Kerouac, Richard Wright, Sonia Sanchez, and James Emanuel. Through its analysis, Haiku and Modernist Poetics sheds light on the significant role haiku has played in shaping modern and postmodern poetry.
