haiku #251: I have lost my way / In a strange town at night, – / A sky of old cold stars.

For many of us the Spring season has finally arrived, so this week I selected a haiku by Zen Buddhist master Soen Nakagawa, mostly known for being a seminal figure in spreading interest in Zen to the West.

Takahama Kyoshi was a Japanese poet active during the Shōwa period of Japan. He was the editor of the haiku magazine Hototogisu (previously edited by Shiki), where he promoted a more traditional style of haiku, as opposed to other popular schools which did not follow the pattern of seventeen syllables at that time. Kyoshi also highlighted the symbolic function of the kigo (the season word), even though the more modern trends were already tending towards season-less haiku.

Naviarhaiku - Old Cold Stars

October 26, 2018.

I have lost my way
In a strange town at night, –
A sky of old cold stars.

~ Richard Wright

One of the most celebrated African-American novelists of the twentieth century, Richard Wright discovered haiku during the last eighteen months of his life (he died of heart attack in 1960, aged 52). In such a short time he wrote 4000 poems, and his posthumous book “Haiku: This Other World“ is a collection with 817 of his own favorite haiku.

His daughter Julia once said that haiku for Wright were “self-developed antidotes against illness, and that breaking down words into syllables matched the shortness of his breath.”
