Studies in Poetry:
Global Haiku Traditions
Course
Description
EN335-01 & EN340-01 Global Haiku Traditions examine 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. This course explores the role of haiku as a social literary art—both the art of reading and art of writing haiku emphasize the importance of shared collaborative aesthetic experiences (shared acts of the imagination).
