(★)((英文版)「名句の所以 近現代俳句をじっくり読む」／ Translated by Janine Beichman／ Photographed by Maeda Shinzoo and Akira／ This volume of seasonally-arranged poems is a guide to the appreciation and enjoyment of the great variety of modern Japanese haiku. From turn-of-the-century masters to poets of today, 300 of Japan´s best modern haiku are introduced by Ozawa Minoru, a leading contemporary haiku poet and critic. Each of the poems, many of them scarcely known, is sensitively discussed together with the background of the poem and the relations between the poets.／ The volume includes poems from the end of the nineteenth century through the beginning of the twenty-first century by the most important writers of modern haiku. They include the leading lights from groups surrounding Masaoka Shiki and his disciple Takahama Kyoshi as well as poets who experimented with new styles such as seasonless haiku, free form haiku, and multi-line haiku.／ Alongside these are works by well-known novelists and other cultural figures who were not professional haiku poets but for whom haiku was an important part of their lives, such as Kubota Mantaroo, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and Natsume Soseki. The book also features beautiful seasonal photographs at the beginning of each chapter, and an additional 20 haiku by the author. ◆Ozawa Minoru [小澤實, 1956] is a prominent Japanese haiku poet and critic. He began writing haiku while a student at Shinshu University and went on to graduate studies in literature at Seijo University. In 2000, after fifteen years as editor in chief of the prominent haiku magazine ´Taka´, he founded ´Sawa´, which he continues to direct. His first haiku collection was ´Kinuta (1986)´, followed by ´Ryuuzoo (1997)´, which won the Association of Haiku Poets Emerging Poet Prize. ´Shunkan (2006)´, his third haiku collection, won the Yomiuri Literature Prize for Poetry. For ´Haiku no hajimari basho (2007)´ he won the Association of Haiku Poets 22nd Prize for Criticism. He is a member of the board of directors of the Association of Haiku Poets, and serves as judge for haiku columns in the Yomiuri Shimbun, the Tokyo Shimbun, and other publications.) |
