Poetry Pea - haiku and other English Language Japanese short forms

poetrypea.com is delighted to welcome Canadian poet Michael Dudley and two Croatian poets, Tomislav Maretić and Dejan Pavlinović to the show. Together they have co created a wonderful book of short form poetry, which they read to us. We discuss how it is they came together to work, how that process worked across different languages and generally what it is about haiku that makes us happy. Patricia discovers she is not the only haiku poet who is not particularly zen. Hope you enjoy listening. More info on the show notes on the website.

Today on Poetry Pea we're back visiting with David Jacobs, UK poet.

We talk haiku, monoku and books in general. Do stay to the end, I'll read to you some monoku from one of David's recommendation. I wonder what you'll think? Hosai Ozaki does write haiku about ordinary everyday things.

If you'd like to see the books we talk about, head to the show notes on the website. www.poetrypea.com

poetrypea.com brings you a selection of haiku from their poetry video prompt which can be found on the Poetry Pea YouTube channel. There's a book review for you too. Hope you enjoy and have taken part in this month's video prompt.

Poetry Pea brings you all the wisdom of the Indian poet Kala Ramesh who today inspires us with a writing workshop on the cut, or kire in the Japanese Short-form of haiku. You can find the show notes at poetrypea.com. I hope this inspires you to write some wonderful haiku or maybe monoku to submit to us in the not too distant future.

When Patricia interviews poets, they often get to talking about what books they are currently reading, what books they are excited about and why. Feedback from you, our listeners and viewers suggests you rather enjoy adding to your book lists. So here you have some recommendations from Patricia and Tim Roberts. If you'd like to hear Tim read some of his work, from his poetry book, Busted, please go back to S6E16, listen to him read and find out why poetry and haiku have become so important in his life as he battles Parkinson's disease.
