A Few Words on the Way: Haiku and Short Poems (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

This collection of some 300 haiku and other short poems offers my best attempt at engaging this complex and versatile genre. The first half is an extended and more or less traditional seasonal sequence. The second half contains shorter thematically linked sequences, and a number of free standing pieces. I am particularly indebted to Basho, Buson, Issa, Li Po, and Tu Fu.

Autor

Originally from Windsor, Ontario, I grew up in the Toronto area, graduated from Dunbarton High School in Pickering, and later attended both the University of Toronto (St. Michael's College, BA) and the University of New Brunswick (Fredericton, MA, PhD). I've worked as a night shift janitor, tree planter, drugstore assistant manager, ESL instructor, and teacher of literature, non-Western thought, and human rights, those last two of which I currently enjoy doing at St. Thomas University in Fredericton. I taught for four years in South Korea, and my travels have taken me to various locations in North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Longstanding interests in fantasy literature, mythology, science, and the philosophy and poetry of East and South-East Asia, have all influenced my writing in one way or another, as has my love of hiking, camping, and paddling.
