A Dozen Tongues 2000: Children in Haiku from Around the World

Subject

Haiku, International
Ecology

Description

THE DOZEN TONGUES PROJECT is a charitable project of Red Moon Press. Each year haiku is gathered on a chosen theme from around the world in twelve languages widely in use in international haiku. Each poem is translated into the other eleven tongues, as well as Esperanto. The themes are selected for their universality, as proof that the things we value are more powerful than the cultural differences which sometimes separate us.
Each year a non-profit service organization is chosen which Red Moon Press feels is in close alignment with the theme of that year, and all profits from the project are donated to it. In this, our inaugural year of the project, and with the theme of “Children in Haiku from Around the World,” our charitable sponsor and beneficiary is UNICEF.
We hope you will join us in supporting their valuable and
necessary work.
As part of our ongoing interest in environmental and ecological issues, Dozen Tongues 2001 will take as its theme “Our Vanishing Wilderness.” Our sponsoring beneficiary is The Nature Conservancy.Contains short bios of the authors, translators and project directors.
