New to Haiku: Free Discussion Area / The Ones That Everyone Should Know
December 30, 2016, 08:10:13 PM
Dear Mentors
Classical Japanese haijin had a canon of material that everyone knew, and could hint at in their new compositions.
I notice that in discussions of haiku here and elsewhere on the web reference is often made to apparently well known ELH that should be in everyone's toolbox.
Is there a reference list of these base English language haiku that form, as it were, the beginnings of an English Language canon?
In the last few weeks, as I start to learn about haiku, I have downloaded probably several thousand haiku apart from the articles and mini-courses by various English speaking luminaries (including some that post on this site) that are freely available - but I am concerned to find the really central corpus of work - if such a thing exists. After all, there is only so much time available, and I'd like to use it to the best advantage.
I know how to find stuff -( including the marvellous cache of early, and pre WW2 and Beat generation stuff at Terebess) - but which is the Right Stuff...
I know that I should know about that damn frog jumping into the pond, g (!), but which are the English ones of similar importance...
