Beschreibung

Of all forms of poetry and literature, haiku is likely the least amenable to chronological treatment. Haiku comprises moments of vision, and a "history of moments" is hardly achievable. If we were to choose one for such a task, however, a strong case could be made for Reginald Horace Blyth (1898-1964). Best known for his acclaimed four-volume haiku anthology, Blyth's appreciation and understanding of haiku and its motives are perhaps unequaled by any Westerner. In selecting the outstanding works of as many poets as possible, Blyth presents readers with a true vision of the history of haiku, taking care to highlight its ups and downs, its masters and its failures, but more than anything, its unique ability to communicate the incommunicable.

In this second volume of A History of Haiku, Blyth begins with the poetry of the last of the great haiku masters, Shiki. He then proceeds through the later haiku poets of the Meiji and Sh¿wa eras, illustrating their various strengths and weaknesses, before arriving at the modern poets. It closes with a beautiful selection of modern haiku, and some profound thoughts from Blyth on the state of haiku in a technological age.

Über den Autor

R.H. Blyth was born in London in 1898 and studied English literature at London University. He traveled extensively in the East before moving first to Korea and then Japan and teaching English at several universities. Blyth eventually became the English tutor to the Crown Prince of Japan. He also studied Zen Buddhism under Kayama Taigi Roshi. Blyth was interned during the war years, and it was during this time that he wrote his first book, Zen in English Literature. He went on to write numerous other books on Zen, haiku, senryu, and humor. Blyth was a man whose sensibility took root in two disparate cultures and found a harmony that he beautifully and effectively communicated in his writing.
