A Brief History of Haiku in the United States.Pdf
A BRIEF HISTORY OF HAIKU IN THE UNITED STATES JIM KACIAN The First Wave America’s first haiku, like nearly everyone else’s, were translations of Japanese originals, and imitations of those translations. Lafcadio Hearn published the earliest of these translations in 1898, and his versions remain fresh even today. This is possibly the first English-language version of Bashō’s famous furuike ya: Old pond—frogs jumping in—sound of water.1 Other early translators included William N. Porter Asleep within the grave The soldiers dream, and overhead The summer grasses wave. And Curtis Hidden Page: All that is left of the dream Of twice ten thousand warriors slain. 1. Lafcadio Hearn, Japanese Lyrics (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1915). The first fully realized haiku in English is generally acknowledged to be Ezra Pound’s IN A STATION OF THE METRO The apparition of these faces in the crowd : Petals on a wet, black bough . published in Poetry in 1913. He termed this a “hokku-like sentence.”2 It marks the first true integration of haiku sensibility into Western poetics, content, and techniques. Pound’s word was built upon and expanded by the Imagists, especially Amy Lowell, English-language haiku’s first champion: Last night it rained. Now, in the desolate dawn, Crying of blue jays.3 Other American Imagists who produced haiku included John Gould Fletcher and Yvor Winters. Another early proponent of English-language haiku was Sadakichi Hartmann, a friend of and influence on Pound: White petals afloat On a winding woodland stream— What else is life’s dream!4 As other major figures in American poetry became aware of haiku, they tried their hands at it. -

Frogpond at 40
76 fortieth THE SOUND OF WATER: FROGPOND AT Charles Trumbull If there is to be a real “American Haiku” we must — by trial and error — work out our own standards. ~ Harold G. Henderson 1 n his famous letter to James Bull and Don Eulert, editors of the pioneering haiku journal American Haiku, Harold G. Hen- Iderson considered the possibility of writing haiku in English. Although derived from the Japanese, English-language haiku, he believed, would be of no lesser quality. Henderson went on to cofound the Haiku Society of America. It is the HSA and its members, more than any other group, that has concerned itself with establishing standards for American — indeed, English- language — haiku. Frogpond editors have always been in the vanguard in realiz- ing Henderson’s call. Tey have brought different points of view and (pre)conceptions as they sought to define what Frogpond should be and do, for example: t Unlike independent publications such as American Haiku and Modern Haiku, Frogpond is a membership journal. What consti- tutes good service to the members? Is Frogpond obliged to pub- lish the work of all dues-paying members? If not, should mem- bership be a consideration for acceptance at all? Perhaps good service means bringing to the members the best work from all sources, foreign and domestic? Should the journal be analyzing classical Japanese- and/or English-language haiku in depth? Or maybe finding and printing the newest experiments? t Is the HSA membership Frogpond’s only audience? Should it try to find a place for itself on bookshelves and coffee tables FORTIETH 77 alongside mainstream poetry journals? Should issues of Frog- pond be available in school libraries, colleges, and other institu- tions? Should it be sold in bookstores? Is it desirable for Frogpond articles — haiku even — to be indexed among scholarly publica- tions? Te goal of making Frogpond the very best haiku journal possible implies applying stringent standards for the selection of haiku, emphasizing quality over quantity. -
Fall 2009 HSA Newsletter
Haiku Society of America on-line edition September 2009 President’s Letter September 20, 2009 Dear Members, I pen this letter two days before Autumn begins. In my recent traveling, I've already seen signs of Autumn: yellowing leaves, reddening leaves, falling leaves, browning grass, crisp air, football games, acorns, ripening apples, muscadines, scuppernongs and lengthening nights. To that end, Marilyn Hazelton taught a fun and engaging haiku workshop based on the Autumn season on September 12th, at the Tenri Cultural Institute, in New York City. Rita Gray, the Northeast Metro Regional Coordinator, organized a great program for the Haiku Society of America National Meeting. During the Business Meeting, however, I announced the winners of the Mildred Kanterman Memorial Merit Book Awards. I thank you, Mr. Leroy Kanterman, for sponsoring the Mildred Kanterman Memorial Merit Book Awards. The First Place winner also sends thanks to you. I also announced the slate of officers for the 2010 HSA Ballot. There were no additional nominees or candidates from the floor. Perhaps, you're interested in knowing that the HSA Executive Committee has been tackling issues via e-mail on a frequent basis. For example, we've been researching the possibility of working with an online membership management service to streamline the registration process. During the summer, I asked Dave Russo, a former HSA Electronic Media Officer, to research and prepare a document in regards to the advantages and disadvantages of such service. I also asked him to prepare a list of the best companies that could provide the service. I thank Dave for his detailed document. -

For whatever reason, this time it strikes us in a way that it has never done before, and yet it seems as if we have always known it to be this way. It may be deep, it may be transitory, but regardless, we are changed: we can never feel the same about this experience again. We have had a moment of insight, a seeing deeper into the workings of the world. Sometimes these moments are private in nature, springing from deep within us, and so might resist our attempts to verbalize them.
