Accepting the Challenges of Translation
Before I commence with this week’s post, I want to take a moment to thank Kimberly Kuchar for buying me three coffees in support of this work. I’m grateful for the support! I’m working on some late summer and early autumn bonus content. If you want to contribute financially, you can do so using theContinue reading “Accepting the Challenges of Translation”

Source Text: The Sound of Water
One of the things I find helpful in the study haiku is people sharing the various sources they use in their own writing practice. A few weeks ago, I gave an overview of Joshua McFadden’s Six Seasons: A New Way with Vegetables, which is one of my non-haiku source texts. I also thought it wouldContinue reading “Source Text: The Sound of Water”

Classifying Animals as Meat
One of the research questions that surfaced for me earlier this year was when the presence of an animal in haiku meant that it was a food poem, and that I should add it to my collection.

Editorial Decisions: Cherry and Plum Blossoms
As I’ve mentioned before, the end goal of this project is to produce a food-related saijiki in the spirit of William J. Higginson’s Haiku World: An International Poetry Almanac.

A week of T-shirt weather may be followed by a string of cool gray days challenging our optimism about summer’sContinue reading “An Overview of Six Seasons: A New Way with Vegetables”
