Welcome
Welcome to the 2022 Autumn Moon Festival. Within find works by 80 contributors to the issue from around the world plus a sample from four Japanese masters: Boncho, Imozeni, Shiki and Yayū.
But wait. There’s more. Lots more.
Click on the blue chrysanthemum flag in the right- hand column and a page will open to Japanese Haiku, Volume I of the Peter Pauper Press editions of Peter Beilenson's English workings of haiku by classical Japanese poets.
Click on the red chrysanthemum flag in the right-hand column and a page will open to the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, a classic Japanese anthology consisting of 100 waka (better known today as tanka) by 100 poets.
Works linked under the above flags are in the public domain.
Click on the white chrysanthemum flag and a page will open to Monkey's Raincoat, a compilation of linked poems written by Basho and his followers in 1690. The work is published in PDF format by The Haiku Foundation Digital Library.
Click on the image of pilgrims climbing a hill in the right-hand column and a page will open to a gallery of 17 Japanese woodblock prints associated with autumn and the moon. The images are from a collection maintained by the Library of Congress and are in the public domain.
The temple entrance beneath the series of flags will open to a gallery of Japanese postcards of temples and autumn scenes. 17, go figure.
The right-hand column also contains an extensive list of books covering the centuries of haiku from its origins to the present day under the title A Haiku Library.
The book Chiyo-ni: Woman Haiku Master by Patricia Donegan and Yoshie Ishibashi belongs on this list, but it is rare and out-of-print. Used copies recently range in price from $150 to $500. A Thousand Years: The Haiku and Love Letters of Chiyo-ni by Marco Fraticelli belongs on the list, too, but it is also rare. A separate link opens to interpretations of Chiyo-ni's work by these and other authors.
Notable books of classic Japanese fiction and poetry collections are listed under the title A Bookshelf of Japanese Tales and Verse.
Book titles are linked to Amazon purchase listings. Plum Tree derives no compensation for items bought through these links, and the volumes may be available elsewhere than at Amazon.
Links to The Haiku Foundation and the Haiku and Tanka Societies of America follow the reading lists.
Content in the right-hand column concludes with gates to other Plum Tree issues, including one to Plum Tree's Haiku 2016 to 2020 Edition.
The greatest of thanks to the contributors who made this issue possible. Take a stroll from the water's edge through the mist to the hills. Enjoy recklessly.
