        Animal

        Poemas breves salvajes

        by María José Ferrada, Ana Palmero

        "Hidden in his horn he guards the secret of the jungle”. This might be as well the beginning of a novel, but it's an inspired riddle about wild animals. The illustrations in high varnish of this edition highlight the different skin textures of each animal and invites the reader to discover a new way of reading in a tactile and playful way.

        Kilroy was here

        Ein immerwährender Kalender

        by Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Kat Menschik

        Zum Lesen, Verwerfen, Mitschreiben und Selbstdichten. Mit einer kurzen Geschichte vom geheimnisvollen Leben Kilroys und einem Daumenkino von Kat Menschik. Zur Aufmunterung des Denkens: ein Dreizeiler für jeden Tag »Der schlichte Dreizeiler / entwaffnet die Ungeduld / durch seine Kürze.« Kilroys Dreizeiler reichen für ein ganzes Jahr. Obwohl das japanische Wort haiku soviel bedeutet wie »lustiger Vers«, können es die hier präsentierten Dreizeiler nicht mit dieser ehrwürdigen Tradition aufnehmen; denn Kilroy hält es mit dem einfachen Kreidestrich. Das Graffito zieht er dem Tweet, dem Blog und dem Chat vor. Man kann seine Dreizeiler also in die Tasche stecken. Sie handeln von allem, was der Fall ist, beispielsweise von einem Frosch oder von der Europäischen Zentralbank. Wem der zu einem jeden Jahrestag gebotene Dreizeiler aber nicht gefällt, der kann ihn einfach durchstreichen und einen anderen verfassen. Denn in Kilroys kleinem Buch gibt es nicht nur unter jedem Jahrestag Platz für Notizen, sondern auch genügend Freiraum für neue, selbsterfundene Dreizeiler. Eine kurze Geschichte Kilroys und wie er sich in jede FAZ-Ausgabe des Jahres 2014 zu schmuggeln verstand, lässt den »Immerwährenden« denn doch ein gutes Ende nehmen. Und sollte noch immer jemand an Kilroys Existenz zweifeln, so wird ihn Kat Menschiks Daumenkino davon überzeugen, dass er quicklebendig ist.

        Ginkgo

        Der Baum des Lebens. Ein Lesebuch

        by Felicitas Bovis

        Über die Zeiten und Kulturen hinweg hat der Ginkgo die Menschen in seinen Bann gezogen – als Symbol für Liebe, Hoffnung und Frieden. Insbesondere durch die Form des geteilten Blattes wurde er zum Sinnbild des dialektischen Yin und Yang, des weiblichen und männlichen Prinzips, von Leben und Tod. Goethe inspirierte er zu seinem berühmten Gedicht »Ginkgo biloba« – seitdem ist der Ginkgo auch in der westlichen Literatur ein immer wiederkehrendes Motiv. Dieser Band versammelt die schönsten Texte über diesen berühmten Baum: Märchen und Haikus aus Japan und China, Texte und Gedichte von Siegfried Unseld, Günter Eich, Peter Härtling, Felix Pollak und vielen anderen.

        Leben ohne Poesie

        Gedichte

        by Peter Handke, Ulla Berkéwicz, Ulla Berkéwicz

        1969 erschien, wie es damals hieß, ein »Reader« von Peter Handke, der den Untertitel trug: Prosa Gedichte Theaterstücke Hörspiele Aufsätze. Die dort abgedruckten Gedichte waren dem im selben Jahr publizierten Band Die Innenwelt der Außenwelt der Innenwelt entnommen, in dem der Autor 42 für Lyrik bisher nicht verwendete Textformen entdeckte: etwa Die Aufstellung des 1. FC Nürnberg vom 27.1.1968, den Vorspann zum Film Bonnie und Clyde usw. Und obwohl Peter Handke in den darauffolgenden Jahren als Prosa- und Theaterautor in den Vordergrund trat, wendete er sich nicht von der Ausdrucksform Gedicht ab. Dies belegen etwa die Langgedichte Leben ohne Poesie oder Blaues Gedicht in dem Band Als das Wünschen noch geholfen hat (1974), das Gedicht an die Dauer (aus dem Jahre 1986) sowie die Haikus in den Notizbüchern, etwa den 2005 veröffentlichten Gestern unterwegs.

        Haiku Illustrated

        by Hart Larrabee

        Haiku is an ancient form of Japanese poetry. Its structure has become popular inother languages and today it is probably the best-known form of poetry worldwide.There are few rules to haiku, but they are strict: 17 phonetic sounds, a sense ofcutting images or ideas, and a reference to a season. From those restrictions, poetshave written about many things, from the year’s first blossom to aging, frommosquitoes humming to insects singing, from catching one’s shadow to crossing astream in the summer.Haiku Illustrated features 75 classic poems from four poets – Matsuo Bashō, YosaBuson, Kobayashi Issa and Masaoka Shiki – which range across more than 200 yearsof Japanese poetry.Each poem is presented in Japanese script, along with romanized Japanese (romaji) and an English translation. Each haiku is accompanied by an artwork illustrating an aspect of the poem, such as the traditional Japanese art of cherry blossom, Mount Fuji or village life. Beautifully produced in traditional Chinese binding and with a timeless design, Haiku Illustrated is an expert celebration of one of the most beautiful and accessible forms of poetry in the world.

        by Bruce Ross

Give haibun a try. Maybe you want to express a fleeting feeling? A tanka is the perfect vehicle. Are you more visual than verbal? Then a haiga, or illustrated haiku, is the ideal match. Finally, a renga is perfect as a group project or to create with friends, passing a poem around, adding line after line, and seeing what your group effort amounts to.Ross walks readers through the history and form of haiku, before laying out what sets each Japanese poetic form apart. Then it's time to turn to your notebook and start drafting some verse of your own!

      • Il Giappone in controluce. Acquerelli, haiku e tanka: tre anime, un unico spirito

        Il Giappone in controluce. Acquerelli, haiku e tanka: tre anime, un unico spirito

        by Floriana Porta

        Questo prezioso libro dedicato al Giappone raccoglie acquerelli, haiku (brevi componimenti di diciassette sillabe) e tanka (componimenti di trentuno sillabe): istantanee poetiche di grande fascino e suggestione, dove scritto e dipinto si fondono con originalità e ricercatezza. Le poesie sono caratterizzate da un linguaggio snudato ed essenziale, molto intenso ed evocativo, e concentrano l'attenzione sulla descrizione della natura e degli eventi umani direttamente collegati a essa. L'Autrice mette in dialogo antichissime forme poetiche giapponesi con la contemporaneità; ne consegue che tempi e luoghi molto distanti fra loro percorrano gli stessi ignoti sentieri, con un ritmo compositivo di grande equilibrio. Haiku e tanka - rigorosamente senza punteggiatura - sono accompagnati da dipinti realizzati dall'Autrice ad acquerello. Versi e pennellate si fondono armonicamente: la parola poetica permette di cogliere - in un solo sguardo - il rapporto immediato con le bellezze e le magie del Giappone, mentre la pittura concentra in sé tutti i poteri dell'incanto e del mondo che ci circonda.

        Tanpura's Strum

        A Collection of Haiku, Tanka, and Micropoems

        by Jesal Kanani

        Jesal has always been drawn to making beautiful connections with seemingly disparate ideas. She's been able to draw out the juxtaposition of two unrelated images in a haiku, giving birth to a new meaning, which combines two distinct thoughts into one. If we look at urban existence – its natural state of being is fraught with dissonance: the push and pull of expectations, the contradictions within roles, but Jesal sees connections and synergy with this seeming contradiction thru the haiku and tanka  which reach out as perfect forms to Jesal, to express this state of modern living.   Both — arising out of and also nestled within, this constant churn and thrum of life are nectar-like moments that make us feel most alive, impassioned, at other times crushingly human. This poetry is an attempt to catch those pearls of consciousness, those moments that float up to the surface above the rough raw tumble of the day. Maybe it is the ordinary, that when looked at with repose, reflection transmutes into something extraordinary? The tanka’s brevity: a click, ka—snick! is a snapshot in words. A wide ranging collage, from motherhood, heartbreak, loss, love, to the tangible: vegetables, beaches, forests and salons, is put together in this collection through these textual snapshots. Read together, they aim to paint a dense picture of urban life of women, as they grapple with successfully navigating the world.    By saying little, sharing just the silhouettes of an image, Jesal's haiku and tanka, invite the readers to color in the rest with their own experiences and imagination, thereby making these poetic forms unusually relatable. I hope the grace and beauty of these ancient forms of poetry find resonance with you and readers through this modern, relatable and excellent rendition, by Jesal.

        ONE HUNDRED HAIKUS FOR PEACE

        by Collective

        Discover haikus by poets from all over the world who wrote on the subject of peace from unique and personal—sometimes even tender or comical—point of views. This book is intended for all ages, depicting inner peace, feelings, the world’s beauty, all those little things that make us stand still and listen, love life despite our internal and external bustle and confusion. Haiku urges everyone to write and live (intensely) every day to its fullest. L’iroli has chosen to crystallize the universal theme of peace in the form of haiku, which has been their focus for the last 15 years. The translation into five languages (French, Japanese, Spanish, English, German, and the authors’ native language) offers to the reader a kaleidoscopic vision of each poem.

        Basho's Narrow Road

        Spring and Autumn Passages (Rock Spring Collection of Japanese Literature)

        by Matsuo Basho

        Matsuo Basho (1644-94) is considered Japan's greatest haiku poet. Narrow Road to the Interior (Oku no Hosomichi) is his masterpiece. Ostensibly a chronological account of the poet's five-month journey in 1689 into the deep country north and west of the old capital, Edo, the work is in fact artful and carefully sculpted, rich in literary and Zen allusion and filled with great insights and vital rhythms. In Basho's Narrow Road: Spring and Autumn Passages, poet and translator Hiroaki Sato presents the complete work in English and examines the threads of history, geography, philosophy, and literature that are woven into Basho's exposition. He details in particular the extent to which Basho relied on the community of writers with whom he traveled and joined in linked verse (renga) poetry sessions, an example of which, A Farewell Gift to Sora, is included in this volume. In explaining how and why Basho made the literary choices he did, Sato shows how the poet was able to transform his passing observations into words that resonate across time and culture.
