Book summaryWright selected these 817 haiku as the best out of the 4,000 he wrote while living in Paris, where he moved in 1946. They are accompanied here by notes and an afterword that explains the history of haiku in Japan and English-speaking countries and ties Wright's other writing to his haiku project. Media reviews"[T]his collection is a marvelous refutation of those critics who deemed [Wright's] literary career to have come to an end with his departure from the United States in 1946....Undoubtedly, HAIKU: This Other World is the best realization, both in form and content, of the author's ideal of 'poetic realism.' It is also a stepping-stone or words leading towards a new world, another world." |
