The Penguin Book of Haiku
Traducere de Adam L. Kernen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 mai 2018
The first Penguin anthology of Japanese haiku, in vivid new translations by Adam L. Kern.
Now a global poetry, the haiku was originally a Japanese verse form that flourished from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries. Although renowned for its brevity, usually running over three lines in seventeen syllables, and by its use of natural imagery to make Zen-like observations about reality, in fact the haiku is much more: it can be erotic, funny, crude and mischievous. Presenting over a thousand exemplars in vivid and engaging translations, this anthology offers an illuminating introduction to this widely celebrated, if misunderstood, art form.
Adam L. Kern's new translations are accompanied here by the original Japanese and short commentaries on the poems, as well as an introduction and illustrations from the period.

Recenzii
Adam
L.
Kern's
authoritative
new
anthology
challenges
the
myth
of
haiku
as
a
monkish
meditation
on
the
natural
world
...
What
we
get
is
a
cultural
history
of
Japan
up
to
the
end
of
the
19th
century
condensed
into
verse
...
This
feast-like
anthology
reminds
us
that
poets
excelled
at
social
media
long
before
the
"floating
world"
of
the
internet
This collection will appeal to the general reader as well as the academic. Kern's impressive research and copious annotations will give the scholar plenty to digest, but the lay reader can equally delight in a collection that truly revolutionizes the schoolbook image of haiku ... With this new collection, haiku stands poised and ready for its reintroduction to the world of literature
This is not your grandma's haiku book. It is bound to ruffle many feathers with its insistence on distinguishing between pre-modernhaikuas a communal art of linked comic verse and the modern invention of 'haiku' as a Zen-inspired minimalist stand-alone poem of seventeen syllables ... After word of this book gets out, the English-language practice and study of haiku will never be the same
The Penguin Book of Haiku is an amazing collection of haiku and senryu and related verse. This collection spans the entire range of poetry from the bawdy to the sublime, giving this book more diversity than any other book of haiku I have read.
An eye-opening introduction ... Adam L. Kern's translations, commentaries and unabashed selections bring fresh insight to the old 'game' ofhaiku, a collaborative poetic form distinct from the standalone 'haiku' the world knows today ... In reasserting the relevance ofhaikuin all its incarnations variously serious, crude and comic, Kern does the haiku-loving world a great service and gives us all a good laugh at the same time
One of the most enjoyable reads I've had lately, and now readers can see whathaikureally was like and what it can do. Kern is a marvellous translator ... The illustrations further add to the enjoyment. It's a book that should be in the library of anyone who loves Japanese literature
For anyone even remotely interested in the origins of haiku and the claims of tradition [...] this extraordinary tome is a must-read
