Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

This course introduces the art and craft of Japanese poetry, one of the world's great literary traditions. Exploring the many styles of traditional verse-the poetic diary, linked verse, haiku, and others-and their historical contexts, we gain insights into Japanese aesthetics and study the unique conventions of Japanese poetic production that have evolved over a span of some 1500 years. The course also incorporates a "haiku workshop," in which we engage in group-centered poetry writing and critiquing. No prior knowledge of Japanese is required.
