Poetry Pea - haiku and other English Language Japanese short forms Poetry Pea

Today at poetrypea.com I’m inviting you to head off with me to my old summer stomping ground, the Irish countryside. For a reading of poetry, more particularly haibun.
We’re going to meet the poet and farmer Jeremy Haworth and listen to the poems he wrote while he was learning his farming craft.
“in Four Season farm, Jeremy Haworth’s writing is skilled, deliberate and accomplished. It is honest, humble and refreshing. Written in a clear and original voice, Four Season farm is a remarkable debut and a delightful read.” Sean O’Connor
In 2019 Jeremy won the Cúirt New Writing Prize.

Over the next month or so I’ll be looking at senryū. At why senryū are often seen as a lesser form of poetry, at senryū in the pre modern era in Japan, ie. pre 1868 and how they developed from that point on both in the Japan and in the English speaking world.
It has been a fascinating study from a poetry and an historical point of view. I’ve always thought that haiku can instruct us about life in the past, but as I hope to show you, senryū can give you a fascinating insight into the past.
It has also left me with a couple of historical events that I’ll bring you at some time in the future.
A reminder to make sure you are signed up to the Poetry Pea mailing as a very important email will be going out very, very soon, which if you write poetry, you will not want to miss.
Also a favour, if you could review the podcast, or like and share it with other poets that would be fantastic. Thank you.
Today I’m going to have a look at pre modern senryū.
At the end of my podcasts on senryū, and there will be a couple at least, I will have an essay for you. You lovely bunch who support the podcast with memberships will be sent a copy, but it will be available via buy me a coffee for everyone else to purchase.
