Yoshinobu Hakutani analyzes the prominent Eastern philosophies expressed through haiku, such as Confucianism and Zen, and the aesthetic principles of yugen, sabi, and wabi. Hakutani discusses several reinventions of haiku, from Matsuo Basho’s transformation of the classic haiku, to Masaoka Shiki’s modernist perspectives expressing subjective thoughts and feelings, and eventually to Yone Noguchi’s introduction of haiku to the Western world through W. B. Yeats and Ezra Pound. Hakutani argues that the adoption and transformation of haiku is one of the most popular East-West artistic, cultural, and literary exchanges to have taken place in modern and postmodern times. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: The Genesis and Development of Haiku in Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Classic Haiku Tradition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Modernist Haiku Poetics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Ezra Pound, Imagism, and Haiku\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Richard Wright’s Haiku and Modernist Poetics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Wright’s Haiku, Zen, and the African “Primal Outlook upon Life”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Jack Kerouac’s Haiku and Classic Haiku Poetics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Kerouac’s Haiku and Beat Poetics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Kerouac’s Haiku and The Dharma Bums\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Sonia Sanchez’s Haiku and Blues Poetics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 11: James Emanuel’s Jazz Haiku\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042667790679,"sku":"9781793634504","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793634504.jpg?v=1750955090","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/american-haiku-eastern-philosophies-and-modernist-poetics-9781793634504","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
