Price tags stuck on priceless memories. Stained chili-mac plates, crystal vases that once held daisies and droopy dandelions, mismatched jelly glasses with Nestle Quick stirrings, silver spoons that soared applesauce airplane-fast into baby mouths, cast iron skillets seasoned with Sunday bacon. Lavender-scented towels folded with tenderness, aprons knotted with love, doilies crocheted by hand, cross stitched hankies, patchwork quilts, pillows stuffed with dreams. For Sale: Grandma‘s treasured things. For Sale grandkids‘ priceless memories stored, floored, shelved, hung, disposed of one at a time for a nickel or dime, sold for a song, everything‘s gone. There is no more, close the door. Forever, Two Newlywed Girls Thirty-nine years ago, in the 49th state, in our nineteenth year we traipsed across fields of fireweed glowing pink in the midnight sun through a forest of stunted trees, down narrow paths that led to independence. In eighteen months we knitted a friendship so snug separation could not divide us when we said good-bye to Uncle Sam, so long to each other. Followed our soldiers home, traveled through motherhood and mayhem, encountered small pleasures 5 and tackled great obstacles. Leaned on one another for support and comfort, uplifting advice and an occasional forehead smack. Airmail letters, long distance calls, intermittent visits carried us through births, deaths, life. Despite the wrinkles in our faces, the brain tumor that snatched her short term memory, nothing will ever snag our bonded threads and unravel our keepsake friendship. Forever, we will be two newlywed girls walking a dusty gravel road kicking up our heels in a remote Alaskan town. Old Love Birds Soul mates, they strolled up the slight incline one a short distance ahead of the other. She paused, cocked her head back in his direction, waited as usual for him to shuffle slowly to her side. Together they strode to the apex, his chest puffed out, taking in oxygen, and the view from on high made heaven seem closer. He cooed and gave her a peck. If he‘d been wearing suspenders he‘d have inserted his wings into his straps, popped them proudly and preened for his turtle dove up on the roof. Grandma’s New Baby When you aaah-chooo you blow me away. Your hic-cup rhythm makes me sway. Your belly-burps are daddy size. Your tiny toots are chuckle size. Your coos and aahs rock my world, Grandma‘s newest baby girl. When we lock eyes it‘s you and me, Toothless wonder and old granny. ―I cuuute,‖ you babble, and I reply ―Yes you are, and so am I.‖ 6 Cantos: A Literary and Arts Journal You‘re oh so precious, my little miss Your Maw-Maw blew you an angel kiss. She caressed your cheeks from heaven on high. Painted your peepers like the deep blue sky. All of your noises, even your cry inflate my ego and make me sigh. I cannot believe I‘m blessed again. You‘re a gift from heaven with an angel‘s grin. For Rich or Poor I reclined in the bed of Dad‘s rattle trap ‘49 Ford coupe, which he hack-sawed and ripped apart to make himself a pickup truck. I bowed my ten year old sunburned face. Hid my eyes from every shaking head, tuned out the tsk-tsk of passing motorists who stabbed index fingers in the direction of my heart. The mattress lumpy, the elements most uncomfortable. Transient was a way of life and home was behind houses in garages converted to living quarters, bathtubs non-existent, water scalded in sauce pans; we had no lidded pots big enough to hide inside. Mom cleansed our bodies, scrubbed the floors, overprotected us as best she knew how. We soaked our souls in store-front churches. Dad junked through alleys for scrap metal and struggled to feed his poor little skinny kids. I bailed at eighteen, opened the pantry that contained little food, boxed up my dime store collection of plastic household items; gathered my hopes and dreams. Lugged tons of stuff into a loveless marriage, fattened up two beautiful children and cooed sweet nothings in their ears. We lived in lovely homes furnished with all that money could buy. A quarter of a century, every night, I bowed my head and cried.

  • Matsuo ■ Basho
    ; : TWAYNE'S WORLD AUTHORS SERIES A SURVEY OF THE WORLD'S LITERATURE ! MATSUO ■ BASHO MAKOTO UEDA JAPAN MATSUO BASHO by MAKOTO UEDA The particular value of this study of Matsuo Basho is obvious: this is the first book in English that gives a comprehen­ sive view of the famed Japanese poet’s works. Since the Japanese haiku was en­ thusiastically received by the Imagists early in this century, Basho has gained a world-wide recognition as the foremost writer in that miniature verse form; he is now regarded as a poet of the highest cali­ ber in world literature. Yet there has been no extensive study of Basho in Eng­ lish, and consequently he has remained a rather remote, mystical figure in the minds of those who do not read Japanese. This book examines Basho not only as a haiku poet but as a critic, essayist and linked-verse writer; it brings to light the whole range of his literary achievements that have been unknown to most readers in the West. * . 0S2 VS m £ ■ ■y.

    Studi di estetica, anno XLVIII, IV serie, 2/2020 Sensibilia ISSN 0585-4733, ISSN digitale 1825-8646, DOI 10.7413/18258646129 Lorenzo Marinucci Hibiki and nioi A study of resonance in Japanese aesthetics Abstract In this article I will attempt a definition of “resonance”: first reflecting about it in general terms and then trying to address its role in Japanese aesthetics, in partic- ular poetics. While far from being limited to East Asian aesthetic expressions, I will show how the experience of “resonance” has played a comparatively more central role in this cultural context, shaping peculiar forms of poetry. It is therefore useful to observe non-European sources, if only to understand our hidden cultural as- sumptions before this kind of phenomenon and suspend our prejudices more effec- tively in examining it. After examining the use of atmospheric resonance in waka and in renga I will focus on haikai 俳諧 poetics and on the notions of hibiki 響き (echo) and nioi 匂い (scent) in the theoretical discussions on poetry among Matsuo Bashō 松尾芭蕉 (1844-1894) and his disciples.

[email protected] 119 Lorenzo Marinucci, Hibiki and Nioi 1. Resonance How do we define “resonance”? A first safe assumption is declaring that resonances are phenomena. A resonance is not, however, a single, isolated phenomenon: in order for a resonance to occur, it is necessary for two elements, two noemata, to be both present in our consciousness.
