A Scholar\u2019s Library of Haiku in English is a selected bibliography of books in English generated by the collective efforts of the Juxtapositions<\/i> staff intended to promote the development of scholarship on haiku. Over the last fifty years there has been a tremendous growth in the variety and number of poets embracing haiku as their primary literary art. These haiku writers, editors, and publishers are part of a community that is eager to learn more about the haiku traditions in order to shape their own traditions through practice, critique and publication. Access to quality translations of haiku and significant scholarship on poets and Japanese literary history has helped provide a better understanding of the origins and contemporary practices in Japan. The last fifty years has been a rich cultural and artistic exchange, with a growing body of scholarship about haiku poetics, the history of haiku, and the ever-shifting landscape of innovative experimentation and mature practice evident in anthologies and scholarship.<\/p>\n
This bibliography is intended to be a call for quality research and scholarship on haiku. We need more critical studies of excellent individual haiku poets. We need more studies on the connections between haiku and other literary movements and other arts. We need more literary history of haiku in English and the global movement of haiku as an international cultural experiment. We need more comparative literature of haiku across cultures including explorations of the relationship of haiku in English to Japanese haiku. We need more critical reviews of experimentation in haiku.<\/p>\n
The editors of Juxtapositions<\/i> have reviewed several libraries and known collections of English-language books available in order to create this short bibliography of some of the most important works of criticism and scholarship on haiku currently available. We have organized the bibliography into five sections: (1) Haiku in English Bibliographies, (2) Scholarly Books in English on Haiku, (3) Teaching Haiku & Poet\u2019s Craft Books, (4) A Haiku Scholar\u2019s Anthologies, and (5) Online Resources.<\/p>\n
We plan to do a follow-up bibliography on dissertations and theses related to haiku. Several books included in this bibliography, such as Robert Aitken\u2019s A Zen Wave: Bash\u014d\u2019s Haiku & Zen<\/i> began as a graduate study thesis. There have been a surprising number of such studies, and we intend to review and pull together a short guide to those in the future. Haiku scholarship is diverse and scattered in several disciplines, so we hope A Scholar\u2019s Library of Haiku in English is a good start to gathering awareness of these resources in one place. We know that this bibliography is not definitive and welcome your suggestions of titles to be considered for inclusion in an evolving online version of this bibliography. To recommend books to be considered for future updates of this bibliography, send your suggestions and comments to: <rbrooks@millikin.edu>.<\/p>\n
Haiku in English Bibliographies<\/strong><\/p>\n The following are the known bibliographies of haiku in English. The first bibliography, Haiku in Western Langauges: An Annotated Bibliography<\/i>, provided a thorough review of books and articles available before 1972. Randy & Shirley Brooks published a biennial bibliography of haiku books in print from 1980 until 1987. Randy Brooks has also maintained the Decatur Haiku Collection<\/i> bibliography at Millikin University since 2000, and Charles Trumbull has an extensive database of haiku publications that is the basis for his bibliography available on The Haiku Foundation website. It should be noted that the American Haiku Archives and other special collections related to specific haiku poets at libraries such as Loras College (Raymond Roseliep) and the Rutgers Unviersity (Nicholas Virgilio) also have extensive collections of haiku in English with searchable databases of haiku publications. Also, several special collections of poetry include many haiku publications. Especially noteworthy collections are housed at Brown University, the University of Buffalo, and the University of Wisconsin at Madison.<\/p>\n Association of Haiku Poets. A Catalogue of Non-Japanese Books & Magazines in the Library of the Museum of Haiku Literature<\/i>. Tokyo: Association of Haiku Poets, 2003. Scholarly Books in English on Haiku<\/strong><\/p>\n There are more scholarly books on haiku than one might expect, and they fall into three main groups, two of which have sub-categories. The first and largest group consists of books on Japanese haiku, with an initial sub-category of monographs that focus upon a single poet. Not surprisingly, Bash\u014d is the most studied master, but there are also volumes in English on Issa, Buson, Chiy\u014d, and Shiki. With a few notable exceptions, these books consist primarily of translations; they usually include a certain amount of historical and cultural background, but tend to offer only limited analysis. Among the exceptions is Robert Aitken\u2019s A Zen Wave: Bash\u014d\u2019s Haiku & Zen<\/i>, with mini-essays on individual poems from a Zen master\u2019s perspective, and Makoto Ueda\u2019s Bash\u014d and His Interpreters: Selected Hokku with Commentary<\/i>. This latter book offers a rare opportunity to explore how Bash\u014d\u2019s poems were traditionally understood in Japan, including some cases of fascinatingly different interpretations over the past several hundred years.<\/p>\n Historical surveys of haiku (and, more rarely, senry\u016b<\/i>) form a second sub-category well represented in English-language books. R.H. Blyth\u2019s volumes take precedence; although some later commentators criticize what they consider his over-reliance on Zen interpretations, no one has come close to the extraordinary amount of material he has published, and his translations from half a century ago hold up in the present day. Most historical surveys do not extend very far into contemporary haiku. However, some recent volumes have addressed the earliest haiku (in this case, hokku<\/i> and haikai<\/i>) before the form was thoroughly established in Japan. One is Steven D. Carter\u2019s useful study, Haiku Before Haiku: From the Renga Masters to Bash\u014d<\/i>. A few other books also take unique approaches, such as The Art of Haiku<\/i> by Stephen Addiss, which begins with the earliest Japanese poetry and features haiku painting, known as haiga<\/i>.<\/p>\n A third sub-category consists of books that do not take Japanese haiku as their primary theme, but offer some commentaries within a larger context. Among these are publications by leading scholars of Japanese literature such as Donald Keene, Earl Miner, Kato Shuichi, and Haruo Shirane, but only the last has also published a book centering on haiku: Traces of Dreams: Landscape, Cultural History and the Poetry of Bash\u014d<\/i>. In this sub-category one could add Roland Barthes, who discusses haiku briefly in his Empire of Signs<\/i>. More traditional in approach are Kawamoto Koji\u2019s The Poetics of Japanese Verse<\/i> and Ueda Makoto\u2019s Literary and Art Theories in Japan<\/i>; Ueda has also published two books on Bash\u014d and one on Buson.<\/p>\n In the second large grouping of scholarly books, examinations of English-language haiku are paramount. Here the initial sub-category consists of studies of individual poets, so far including Richard Wright, Clement Hoyt, and Raymond Roseliep. This is certainly an area where much more remains to be done, especially as evaluations of the first and second-generation of English-language haiku poets are beginning to coalesce.<\/p>\n Next come books that treat haiku in English more broadly. These include several important studies by William Higginson; in particular, his Haiku World takes a fully international approach. Other volumes in this sub-category are Studies in English Haiku<\/i> by Nakagawa Atsuo and The Modern English Haiku<\/i> by George Swede.<\/p>\n Dealing with a specific element in haiku, In Due Season: A Discussion of the Role of Kigo in English-language Haiku<\/i>, edited by A.C. Missias, tackles one of the significant issues in transposing a Japanese genre to the Western world. Higginson\u2019s The Haiku Seasons: Poetry of the Natural World<\/i> offers interesting specifics in this regard. Conceived more broadly is Richard Gilbert\u2019s A Disjunctive Dragonfly: A New Approach to English-language Haiku<\/i>.<\/p>\n The final group of scholarly books contrasts Japanese and English-language haiku. The title of another book by Gilbert clearly defines this theme: Poems of Consciousness: Contemporary Japanese & English-language Haiku in Cross-cultural Perspective<\/i>. More studies comparing Japanese and English-language haiku would be welcome, with the proviso that poets in the West tend to be more aware of traditional Japanese haiku, such as those by Bash\u014d and Buson, than of contemporary Japanese examples, which range from fully traditional to wildly experimental.<\/p>\n Of course, there are books that do not fit neatly into the groupings and sub-categories discussed. One such volume is Kenneth Yasuda\u2019s The Japanese Haiku: Its Essential Nature, History, and Possibilities in English<\/i>; more personal approaches are taken in The Nick of Time: Essays on Haiku Aesthetics<\/i> by Paul O.Williams and A Year\u2019s Speculations on Haiku<\/i> by Robert Spiess.<\/p>\n What will come next in research and publications on haiku? All of the above approaches can certainly be continued to good avail, especially studies of modern and contemporary poets and their haiku. In addition, various forms of scholarly interactions between East and West have much to offer. Meetings, discussions, and publications such as the Modern Haiku Association\u2019s Proceedings of the First International Contemporary Haiku Symposium<\/i> can be of great use to poets and readers, whatever their languages. With our cultural world gradually shrinking, the field of haiku is becoming more and more international, and future publications will certainly both reflect and promote this trend.<\/p>\n Addiss, Stephen. The Art of Haiku: Its History Through Poems and Paintings of the Japanese Masters<\/i>. Boston & London: Shambala, 2012. Teaching Haiku & Poet\u2019s Craft Books<\/strong><\/p>\n The following books address the how-to of haiku \u2014 how to teach, how to compose, how to revise. Beginners typically rely on one or more of these texts as they compose and rework their own haiku. The first such primer in English was Sadakichi Hartmann\u2019s Tanka and Haikai: Japanese Rhythms<\/i> (1916). One early handbook that emphasized a Zen approach to writing haiku was Eric Amann\u2019s the wordless poem<\/i> (1969). The first widely available resource that focused on craft was Jean Calkins\u2019s Handbook on Haiku and Other Form Poems<\/i> (1970), followed by Betty Drevniok\u2019s Aware \u2014 a haiku primer<\/i> (1971) and Joan Giroux\u2019s The Haiku Form<\/i> (1974).<\/p>\n William J. Higginson and Penny Harter\u2019s The Haiku Handbook<\/i> has been the most influential resource of this kind since its original publication in 1985 and is now also available in a 25th anniversary edition. This text provides a good general summary of classical Japanese haiku and the early evolution of the genre in English before setting out guidelines for the teaching and learning of haiku craft. The reference section includes an extensive list of season-words, a glossary of terms, and bibliography.<\/p>\n Among the other books, Lee Gurga\u2019s Haiku: A Poet\u2019s Guide<\/i>, Bruce Ross\u2019s How to Haiku<\/i>, explore haiku craft in ways that build on Higginson and foster the transition from beginner to experienced practice. Related online resources on teaching beginners or focused on the poet\u2019s craft include several kigo<\/i> databases, such as the World Kigo Database<\/a> maintained by Dr. Gabi Greve, and Jim Kacian\u2019s First Thoughts: A Haiku Primer<\/a><\/i>.<\/p>\n British Haiku Society. Haiku Kit: A Teaching Pack<\/i>, Second Edition. Braintree, Essex, UK: British Haiku Society, 1998. A Haiku Scholar\u2019s Anthologies<\/strong><\/p>\n The following noteworthy anthologies are recommended for a haiku scholar to know in order to understand the current diversity and breadth of the global haiku community. These anthologies embrace haiku as a literary tradition worthy of study and provide high-quality examples that continue to resonate through multiple readings. In order to be well read, a haiku scholar must read and study multiple anthologies, rather than rely on one seemingly canonical work.<\/p>\n Whereas in Japanese haiku culture and anthologies there are identified \u201chaiku masters,\u201d the contemporary global haiku community has been resistant to identify poets that everyone should follow as masters of the art. Certain poets are widely recognized as quality contributors, but not raised to the level of veneration nor emulation. Perhaps this resistance to identify new \u201cmasters\u201d has contributed to the challenge of creating a coherent body of criticism\u2014there is a lack of critical commentary on individual poets and their contributions aesthetically and communally.<\/p>\n The global haiku community is made up of numerous active sub-communities. These sub-communities have their own traditions and historical paths through which they connect and exchange ideas and aesthetic approaches. The anthologies included in this bibliography provide some of the best haiku, excellent critical commentary and access to different approaches. Some, such as the Midwest Haiku Anthology<\/i>, The British Museum Haiku<\/i>, and Indian Haiku: A Bilingual Anthology of 105 Poets from India<\/i> represent large communities, while others like Cor van den Heuvel\u2019s The Haiku Anthology<\/i> have historical significance. R.H. Blyth\u2019s Haiku<\/i> volumes, a first encounter with haiku for many English-language haiku poets, allow poets and researchers who cannot read or speak Japanese to read and experience haiku and writers beyond their time and place. Meanwhile Makoto Ueda\u2019s anthologies often include scholarly introductions to help readers with historical and cultural awareness. Each contributes something to a larger understanding, and claims to fill some gap that is missing from other anthologies, whether it be historically or aesthetic differences.<\/p>\n The anthologies in this bibliography do not attempt to establish a canon. Anthologies were included for high quality or literary value that expands haiku as a literary art. Therefore, some types of anthologies have been excluded. Society and club anthologies that offer inclusion based on membership, while a strong representation of a community, often fluctuate in quality and have not been included. Also thematic collections of haiku can be literary and interesting, but do not typically expand a scholarly understanding of the art. An exception to thematic collections is Baseball Haiku: The Best Haiku Ever Written About the Game<\/i> as it includes and provides a cultural bridge between Japanese and American writers. Other topical anthologies, such as cat haiku, zombie haiku or pop culture collections, fall into the category of zappai<\/i>, which are often 5-7-5 and value entertainment and comedy over literary quality. This bibliography also excludes translations that are derivative and\/or have poor aesthetic judgement, as these do not properly represent the poems they are attempting to showcase.<\/p>\n Barlow, John and Martin Lucas, Editors.
