The First Hay(na)ku Anthology
Author: Jean Vengua
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
"It began when Eileen R. Tabios in 2000 read Richard Brautigan's novel, The Hawkline Monster, and was inspired by one of its characters: "Cameron was a counter. He vomited nineteen times to San Francisco. He liked to count everything." From that moment on, Tabios began a Counting Journal in which she kept track of anything she could count as her days unfolded. The journal would come to reference, in 2001, the Selected Letters of Jack Kerouac where Kerouac is quoted as saying, "I think American haikus should never have more than 3 words in a line." Tabios recalled both moments on her first poetic blog, WINEPOETICS, as background to her decision to invent a "Pinoy Haiku" form that would come to be known as the "hay(na)ku." This new poetic form's name is a pun off of the Filipino exclamation "Hay naku!" which is used in a variety of situations in the same way the English "Oh!" is interjected. Inaugurated on June 12, 2003, the hay(na)ku is deceptively simple with its form of a tercet comprised of one-, two-, and three-word lines. The form swiftly became popular and since has been used by poets from all over the world."--BOOK JACKET.

The Blind Chatelaine's Keys
Author: Eileen Tabios
Publisher: Blazevox Books
ISBN: 9781934289921
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
The Blind Chatelaine's Keys takes its impetus from three impossibilities: (i) biography (and autobiography) - something is always left out, (ii) artistic criticism - the critic,s subjectivity inevitably comes to play, and (iii) pure persona in poems -the poet's self remains a presence no matter how much a poet may wish to disrupt the 'I'. Eileen R. Tabios, known as 'Chatelaine' in poetry blogland, uses others' criticisms and engagements of her writings to create a narrative arc that serves as a biography. Since the biography is based (mostly) on her poems, it conceptually pushes the idea summed up by Ted Berrigan: 'there is a self inside almost all of the poems'. The Blind Chatelaine's Keys is also a poetics, but laid out by others based on Tabios' poems. Not only is this ideal as one doesn't want to apply proscriptive paradigms on art, but, according to Tabios, it reflects the way of 'Kapwa' - a Filipino cultural concept of interconnectedness whereby other people are not 'others' but part of what one is. The featured critical engagements were also chosen for what the reviews say about their authors. The results address the Chatelaine's core poetics: while Rimbaud says, 'I is Another,' the Chatelaine cheerfully notes, 'Moi is all about Toi.' When Tabios finally speaks for herself - it is to inaugurate a new poetic form: the 'haybun.' While this form is inspired by the 'haibun' associated with Basho, the 'haybun' relies on the 'hay(na)ku'. The ?hay(na)ku' is an earlier invention by Tabios which has become a popular 21st century form, undertaken by numerous poets worldwide. Through the haybun, Tabios offers a memoir of a failed adoption attempt, 'Looking for M.', which has been praised by adoption professionals.

Solving the World's Problems
Author: Robert Lee Brewer
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781935708902
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
The "World" in Robert Lee Brewer's Solving the World's Problems is a slippery world ... where chaos always hovers near, where we are (and should be) "splashing around in dark puddles." And one feels a bit dizzy reading these poems because (while always clear, always full of meaning) they come at reality slantwise so that nothing is quite the same and the reader comes away with a new way of looking at the ordinary objects and events of life. The poems are brim-full of surprises and delights, twists in the language, double-meanings of words, leaps of thought and imagination, interesting line-breaks. There are love and relationship poems, dream poems, poems of life in the modern world. And always the sense (as he writes) of "pulling the world closer to me/leaves falling to the ground/ birds flying south." I read these once, twice with great enjoyment. I will go back to them often. -Patricia Fargnoli, former Poet Laureate of New Hampshire and author of Then, Something
