Robert Hayden (1913-1980) published his first book of poems, Heart-Shape in the Dust, in 1940.

Even though he was interested in African American history and often expressed his concerns about race in his writing, he didn’t want to be identified as a black poet. William Meredith wrote about him: “Hayden declared himself, at considerable cost in popularity, an American poet rather than a black poet, when for a time there was posited an unreconcilable difference between the two roles. There is scarcely a line of his which is not identifiable as an experience of black America, but he would not relinquish the title of American writer for any narrower identity.”

night train the briefly lit lives of others   ( Naviarhaiku 295 )

(I met the authour of the above Haiku, Mark Gilfillan at the Naviar Haiku Festival in London last year when I performed. This weeks haiku jumped out to me and I had an idea straight away of how to transfer the words to sound - a looping train sound and the flicker of sounds - like briefly lit lives - cutting across the track.)  

night train
the briefly lit lives
of others

A friend of Naviar and regular contributor of haiku for its challenges, Mark Gilfillan just published his latest haiku collection: A Portable Universe, printed by Alba Publishing.

He’s a member of the British Haiku Society and has been writing haiku and senryu for around seven years, His first collection Ghost Moon received positive reviews from esteemed American haiku Journal Frog Pond and the British Haiku Society’s Blithe Spirit.

Evening Haze - When Memories Come (Naviarhaiku 296)

evening haze:
when memories come, how distant
are the by gone days

The author ofthe week is Takai Kito, a disciple of Yosa Buson. Despite becoming a professional haikai master in 1771, Kito remained one of Buson’s most trusted disciples until the death of the great master, and was the de facto coordinator of Buson’s haikai group.
