School is finally out for summer!! This semester has been harrowing for me; having to pull five classes along with my job and personal life. One more class and I graduate with my B.A. in English I have much to do this summer with my book, but I'm hoping to really make the most of my time
Final Discussion: Karumi
In my previous journal, I discussed the concept of yūgen and its application in haiku poetry. I briefly examined the history of yugen and included several examples of the concept. :heart:
In my fifth and final journal of this series, I will be discussing the aesthetic principle known as Karumi. I will examine the origins of karumi, and discuss its importance in understanding haiku.
Developed by Matsuo Bashô during his final travels in 1693 (Hass 7), karumi is perhaps one of the most important and least understood principles of haiku poetry. Karumi can best be described as lightness, or a sensation of sponta

In my previous journal, I discussed spark images and their usage in haiku poetry. I examined the importance of spark images in creating multiplicities and included several examples of the technique. :heart:

Poetry Discussion: Haiku Theory by Dick Whyte
In my previous journal, I discussed the haiku technique known as the spark image. I examined its importance in creating multiplicities within haiku and included an example of the concept. :heart:
Before continuing with this series, I would like to introduce an essay entitled A Lot of Words About a Little Poem. Written by haijin Dick Whyte SOLARTS (https://www.deviantart.com/solarts), this essay is in my opinion one of the most comprehensive works written about the techniques used in haikai. By examining the philosophies behind these techniques, Dick has illustrated the manner in which haikai relates to universal concepts. As someone who has the hono
