Haiku and Senryu: A Simple Guide for All

Charlotte Digregorio

4.9/5 (9495 ratings)

Description:Haiku and senryu are written worldwide in 56 languages and are rapidly becoming a fad. This highly practical reference book offers readers step-by-step guidance on how to write and publish haiku and senryu (the latter, humorous haiku). Haiku and senryu are very short, insightful poems, popular with the public because they capture our life’s moments, whether beautiful, happy or sad. This book is for people from all walks of life who are intrigued by the novelty of recording their life’s moments in a creative way, and reading them at open mics in cafes and other venues to appreciative audiences. Haiku and senryu are often tweeted, too. (Note: Senryu is pronounced “sen-ree-YOO.”) The book provides readers with the basics and finer points of style and content for beginning and intermediate poets, giving a few hundred examples of excellent published poems, along with interpretations of them. For experienced poets and educators/workshop leaders of all levels--grade school through adults--the book also provides a chapter on teaching the forms. (Chapter 6 contains practical aids, outlines of study, lesson/homework plans, and samples of students' poetry.) Written in one to four lines, these stimulating and delightful poems for their brevity and thought, are about nature, the seasons, and human nature. This guide dispels the many myths about them that our elementary school teachers taught us, and instructs on reading them with understanding and writing them thoughtfully. It also specifically informs readers on how and where to get published. Also included is instruction about haiku and senryu sequences, a series of individual poems with a theme. This guide gives the history behind haiku/senryu in the U.S. and in Japan, the latter, where they originated. In addition, the book's highly useful appendices and bibliography guides readers to dozens of resources worldwide, online and in print, to increase their knowledge of the poetry and offer publishing, networking, and contest opportunities. The book is written by Charlotte Digregorio, an award-winning author of four other non-fiction books, a prize-winning poet of many forms, including haiku and senryu, and a Pushcart Prize nominee. Digregorio is Midwest Regional Coordinator of the Haiku Society of America. She has been a professor of languages and writing, a writer-in-residence at many schools, a conference speaker nationwide, and a teacher of younger students. She publishes papers in poetry and university journals on haiku and senryu, and her poems are often quoted and critiqued in publications. Her poems are exhibited in public venues, such as supermarkets, public/academic libraries, cultural centers, art galleries, restaurants, coffee and tea houses, wine and apparel shops, botanic gardens, banks, and on public transit.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
