This week\u2019s column, \u201cExquisite Syllables\u201d, is and interview of Robert Moyer by Terri L. French. <\/p>\n

Exquisite Syllable: An Introductory Class in Haiku<\/h5>\n

 
\nNewcomers to haiku can often feel intimidated when crafting their first poems. Instructors of the genre need to do more that throw out Japanese terms like \u201ckigo” and \u201ckireji.\u201d They also need to put their students at ease to alleviate the fear of putting pen to page. One way of doing this is by playing a group game \u2014 not a competitive game, but one in which the class works together to construct a viable haiku.<\/p>\n

Haiku veteran and instructor Robert (Bob) Moyer has successfully used a technique based on the French parlor game Cadavre Equis<\/em> (Exquistive Corpse<\/em>) to lessen distress and bring a sense of play to the art of writing haiku. In the game Exquisite Corpse, each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence and is only allowed to see the end of what the previous person contributed. I have borrowed Bob\u2019s game when teaching my own classes and have been pleasantly (and sometimes hysterically) surprised with the results.<\/p>\n

Recently, I interviewed Bob to get more insight on this technique and his experiences with it.<\/p>\n

TF: Bob, can you explain to our readers a little about the game Exquisite Corpse<\/em> and your rendition of this game for use in teaching haiku? Do you have your own name for your game?<\/p>\n

RM: I call it \u201cExquisite Syllable,\u201d to honor the spirit and letter of the original game. As you stated, the game brings about a playful attitude which is lacking in most introductory sessions. We have sat through too many presentations on form, weighting people down with detail before we get to the genre. This exercise helps us get to the writing. That\u2019s what the Surrealists wanted \u2014 something that would bypass personal and societal structures, thus \u201c. . . holding the intellect in abeyance, and fully liberating the mind\u2019s metaphorical activity.\u201d That\u2019s just a fancy phrase for our intuition in my thinking, The game produces what Surrealist founder Andr\u00e9 Breton called \u201c. . . a leeway which cannot be too highly valued in poetry.\u201d And that sounds what some more serious haikuists have called \u201cthe haiku mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exquisite Syllable<\/em> also honors the form of the game, as we played it: three folds for three sentence parts, three folds for three lines. Each writer cannot see what the previous player has written. Although Breton, Tanguy, even Henry Miller, played around with forms, the most common was adjective-noun-adverb-verb-adjective-noun, resulting in sentences like \u201cThe exquisite corpse will drink the young wine.\u201d The poet\/teacher can guide the participants accordingly. The basic premise is one line per fold, the first and third no more than five syllables, the second line no more than seven. In the drawing version of this game, the participants left the end of their line just past the fold (head-torso-legs). For our purposes, I leave the last word of the line just past the fold in the beginning. I might note, the previous writer does not have to see the last word of the previous fold and the poems works just as well. I also provide a structure that varies but which usually starts with Basho\u2019s poem.<\/p>\n

old pond\r\nfrog jumps in\r\nsound of water<\/pre>\n
as
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
current place (any definition)\r\nactivity therein\r\nsensory detail<\/pre>\n
TF: Do you use the technique with all age groups? If so, do you differ the technique:
\n\u00a0
\nRM: I have been planning to use Roberta Beary\u2019s poetry for my next adult group, as follows (these structures are similar to what I have used before with all ages):<\/p>\n
rainy season
\nagain he tells me
\nshe means nothing<\/p>\n
as<\/p>\n
season with modifier\r\nsomebody speaking\r\nwhat they say<\/pre>\n
all day long\r\ni feel its weight\r\nthe unworn necklace<\/pre>\n
as<\/p>\n
length of time\r\npersonal sensory detail\r\nan object<\/pre>\n
I do not read these examples before, only after. With younger students (I have used this with seventh graders), I sometimes do a demonstration before we start in small groups, although it works both ways. And sometimes I play the original Exquisite Corpse<\/em> game as an intro. I also use common experiences usually drawn from the children.\u00a0<\/p>\n
TF: Do you think it helps them to better understand the genre?
\n\u00a0
\nRM: Now is when the form emerges from what the teacher\/poet calls to the writers\u2019\u00a0 attention with questions about specificity, music, balance, sensory variety, conciseness, etc. What better time to workshop poems that show promise, while the mind\u2019s penchant for order has been disrupted\u2014although I call it \u201cplaying around.\u201d Of course, finding the poem that \u201cmoves\u201d the most people provides the opportunity to speak about how a haiku shows not tells, how it is not narrative, and so on. I find it helpful to have a second poet available for contributions, and I always wait until comments are winding down to answer the question myself. Whether on paper or whiteboard, I never erase previous changes, but simply cross out, use arrow, etc. to keep the process as messy (and non-linear) as it really is! In my experience the group usually has cast aside reluctance by this time, and has as much fun rewriting as they did in the writing. I might note that the Surrealist had to deal with the perception that \u201cplay\u201d and \u201cgames\u201d were counter to serious art; my experience has been these sessions produce both better poetry and better understanding of the genre than many other workshops.<\/p>\n
TF: I have found in using this technique that some of the first poems before workshopping can be hilarious and that helps to break the ice so that participants are more at ease during the critique \u2014 or rather, I should phrase it, the \u201cworkshopping\u201d process.<\/p>\n
RM: As you mentioned, the results are frequently good, and just as frequently hysterical. How often do you experience hilarity as well as good poetry in an introductory workshop? It\u2019s all part of the collaborative accumulation which Breton notes \u201c. . . produces something that could not be gotten buy one mind alone.\u201d He calls this \u201cmental contagion,\u201d we might call it \u201cshared consciousness,\u201d or (dare we) group haiku mind.<\/p>\n
TF: Sometimes by just swapping lines around, changing one word, or omitting words (I find it is the tendency of students to add too many words, so the syllable restriction is a good idea!) you may even come up with something publishable. This really excites the students and includes them in the process of writing a \u201cgood\u201d haiku. This, in turn, helps keep their interest in haiku going even after class concludes. Have you found this to be true?<\/p>\n
RM: Hmmm. I think you just answered the question. How pleasant is it to take a delightful journey which arrives at a rewarding destination \u2014 in this case, good poetry? It\u2019s a total package.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
