You don't have to be a practiced poet or writer to write your own haiku, and this book shows you how.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book opens with a foreword that looks at the state of haiku today as the form of poetry continues to expand in popularity worldwide before giving an introduction to related Japanese haiku forms such as tanka, haiga, renga, haibun, and senryu. The book then provides lots of accessible, easy-to-replicate examples and writing prompts, and there is even a full listing of international journals and online resources.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo you want to tell a story? Give haibun a try. Maybe you want to express a fleeting feeling? A tanka is the perfect vehicle. Are you more visual than verbal? Then a haiga, or illustrated haiku, is the ideal match. Finally, a renga is perfect as a group project or to create with friends, passing a poem around, adding line after line, and seeing what your group effort amounts to.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Author Bruce Ross has lectured on haiku around the world and taught Japanese poetry as a university professor at a number of institutions, including the University of Vermont, the University of Maine, and the University of Alberta. He has edited and written many books on haiku, as well as contributions to international haiku journals and anthologies. In this book, he walks readers through the history and form of haiku before laying out what sets each Japanese poetic form apart. Then it's time to turn to your notebook and start drafting some verses of your own!\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA unique and excellent book for all.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStructure:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA foreword, an introduction, 6 dedicated chapters on different types of poetry, 3 appendices, plus further reading suggestions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRecommended for you if:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYou are interested in haiku and Japanese poetry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYou are interested in Japanese culture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYou are looking to pick up a new skill or hobby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYou want to express yourself in a different way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAbout this volume:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOriginal Title: \u003c\/b\u003eWriting Haiku\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePages: \u003c\/b\u003e192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN: \u003c\/b\u003e978-4-8053-1688-7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBook Size: \u003c\/b\u003eB6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLanguages: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eMarch 15, 2022\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you like this, you might like\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/omgjapan.com\/products\/manga-yokai-stories?_pos=8\u0026amp;_sid=cb87b02a0\u0026amp;_ss=r\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/omgjapan.com\/products\/manga-yokai-stories?_pos=8\u0026amp;_sid=cb87b02a0\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eManga Yokai Stories\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/omgjapan.com\/products\/a-beginner-s-guide-to-japanese-tea?_pos=2\u0026amp;_sid=cb87b02a0\u0026amp;_ss=r\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/omgjapan.com\/products\/a-beginner-s-guide-to-japanese-tea?_pos=2\u0026amp;_sid=cb87b02a0\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eA Beginner’s Guide to Japanese Tea\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-05-12T13:14:27","created_at":"2022-03-23T21:31:54","vendor":"Tuttle","type":"Language","tags":["Haiku","japanese","New_JLB","printed-matter","valentines","Vendor_Tuttle","writing"],"price":1933,"price_min":1933,"price_max":1933,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":true,"all_variant_ids":[41582041628822],"variants":[{"id":41582041628822,"product_id":7409919164566,"product_handle":"writing-haiku-a-beginners-guide-to-composing-japanese-poetry-includes-tanka-renga-haiga-senryu-and-haibun-english-edition","title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9784805316887","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"image_id":null,"available":true,"name":"Writing Haiku: A Beginner's Guide to Composing Japanese Poetry -
