Notable scholars present new interpretations of well-known works. Essays trace the verse of five major African American haiku poets: Richard Wright, James Emanuel, Etheridge Knight, Sonia Sanchez, and Lenard D. Moore. Sachi Nakachi investigates the influence of Japanese aesthetics and Eastern philosophy on Richard Wright's haiku showing Wright's interest in the blues as poetry. Yoshinobu Hakutani analyzes the vision and affinity of jazz and haiku throughout James Emanuel's Jazz from the Haiku King. And Claude Wilkinson digs into Etheridge Knight's improvisation and adherence to tradition of haiku and African American vernacular form. The collection also explores how Sanchez creates a new American hybrid form of the modern haiku in English by blending haiku with her own principles of a black aesthetic. Toru Kiuchi shows how Lenard D. Moore expresses his experiences through haiku with his African American aesthetics and connections to black southern culture. By discussing multiple writers from a variety of disciplines in a single volume, the essayists compare and contrast the work created by writers, poets, and musicians, and illuminate the variety of methods African American authors used when adapting this traditional Japanese form. The result is a volume that offers rich insight into African American aesthetics, the black arts movement, gender issues, blues and jazz, and trends in contemporary poetry"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a American poetry $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Haiku, American $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM $x African American. $x African American. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM $x Poetry. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POETRY $x African American. $x African American. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a American poetry $x African American authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807349 650 7 $a Haiku, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00950299 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Zheng, Jianqing, $e editor. 830 0 $a Margaret Walker Alexander series in African American studies. 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://www.netread.com/jcusers/1343/3049156/image/lgcover.9781496803030.jpg 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180117065419.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826045513.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0E59F3C06B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
