Rather than resist the vast changes sweeping Japan in the 19th century, the poet Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902) incorporated new Western influences into his country's native haiku and tanka verse. Based on extensive readings of Shiki's own writings and accounts of the poet by his contemporaries and family, Donald Keene Charts Shiki's distinctive (and often contradictory) experiments with haiku and tanka, a dynamic process that made the survival of these genres possible in a globalizing world.

How can literary forms fashion a nation? Though genres such as the novel and newspaper have been credited with shaping a national imagination and a sense of community, during the rapid modernization of the Meiji period, Japanese intellectuals took a striking—but often overlooked—interest in poetry’s ties to national character. In Idly Scribbling Rhymers, Robert Tuck offers a groundbreaking study of the connections among traditional poetic genres, print media, and visions of national community in late nineteenth-century Japan that reveals the fissures within the process of imagining the nation. Structured around the work of the poet and critic Masaoka Shiki, Idly Scribbling Rhymers considers how poetic genres were read, written, and discussed within the emergent worlds of the newspaper and literary periodical in Meiji Japan. Tuck details attempts to cast each of the three traditional poetic genres of haiku, kanshi, and waka as Japan’s national poetry. He analyzes the nature and boundaries of the concepts of national poetic community that were meant to accompany literary production, showing that Japan’s visions of community were defined by processes of hierarchy and exclusion and deeply divided along lines of social class, gender, and political affiliation. A comprehensive study of nineteenth-century Japanese poetics and print culture, Idly Scribbling Rhymers reveals poetry’s surprising yet fundamental role in emerging forms of media and national consciousness.

"Shiki's distinctive vision and direct expression make a tone recognizably his own, conveyed beautifully in these pages' translations. We hear Shiki's haiku as the voice of a friend bringing complex news in a few intimate words. These haiku are drawn from a world that feels close to our own, and they bring our own lives and world closer. Shiki's poems are necessary and delicious as mountain water, carrying the mountain's hidden minerals from inside it to inside us." --Jane Hirshfield, author ofThe Heart of HaikuandThe Ink Dark Moon Last year's dream I wake to this year's reality Shiki is considered by the Japanese as one of the masters of haiku. He radically reformed the haiku, suggesting "sketching from life" as an aesthetic.

A compact collection of more than 500 poems from Jack Kerouac that reveal a lesser known but important side of his literary legacy “Above all, a haiku must be very simple and free of all poetic trickery and make a little picture and yet be as airy and graceful as a Vivaldi pastorella.”—Jack Kerouac Renowned for his groundbreaking Beat Generation novel On the Road, Jack Kerouac was also a master of the haiku, the three-line, seventeen-syllable Japanese poetic form. Following the tradition of Basho, Buson, Shiki, Issa, and other poets, Kerouac experimented with this centuries-old genre, taking it beyond strict syllable counts into what he believed was the form’s essence. He incorporated his “American” haiku in novels and in his correspondence, notebooks, journals, sketchbooks, and recordings. In Book of Haikus, Kerouac scholar Regina Weinreich has supplemented a core haiku manuscript from Kerouac’s archives with a generous selection of the rest of his haiku, from both published and unpublished sources.

Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902) is often listed as the last of the great haiku masters - following Basho, Buson, and Issa. However, Shiki remains unique in his distinctly modernist approach, taking influence from Western writers and artists, reflecting changes within his own society. In his Outline of Haikai, published in 1895, Shiki stresses "copying things as they are," foreshadowing Imagism's "direct treatment of the thing." In the same text, Shiki writes about the importance of "combining reverie (k?s?) and realism (shajitsu)," allowing for a kind of reflective minimalism - sketches, both exterior and interior."I go / you stay / two autumns"In recent years, Shiki's work has found a number of critics (especially when set beside Basho, Buson, and Issa). While Shiki certainly took influence from those who went before him (especially Buson), his goal was not to tread the same ground."Reading / three thousand haiku / two persimmons"As the twentieth century loomed, people everywhere were coming together and being pulled apart. Looking at smoke hanging in the night sky, Shiki doesn't write about the beauty of the local fireworks display, but rather:"Alone / after the fireworks / it's dark"Poems of Masaoka Shiki is a short and varied collection of Shiki's haiku. Each translation is accompanied by the original Japanese text and English transliteration (romaji).Author: Masaoka Shiki. Translator: Anthony Opal. Booklet, 12 pp, 7 x 5.25 in.
