Advanced
Studies in Poetry:
Global Haiku Traditions
Course
Description
IN203, Honors Seminar: Global Haiku Traditions examines
the origins and spread of Japanese poetics from Japan around
the world, with a special focus on the adaptation of haiku into
other cultures and languages.
A special
feature of the spring course was that students conducted interviews
by e-mail with leading contemporary haiku poets. We studied
the history of haiku and related poetics in Japan, and then
examined the contemporary internalization of haiku in various
international cultures.
