Poet Richard Gilbert: The Disjunctive Dragonfly, a New Approach to English-Language Haiku
In this important book, Gilbert demonstrates how experimentation in contemporary English-language haiku both connects and radically departs from 20th century conventions.
Gilbert was instrumental in the translation of 4 important works by Kaneko Tohta, universally regarded as one of the great poets of contemporary haiku, but whose work could rarely be found in English. The program is co-sponsored by the Haiku Study Group of Southern California.
