Global Haiku in Translation | Haiku Poetry Across English & Spanish

In this episode, we explore haiku in Spanish, Mexican poetry, and the global spread of haiku beyond Japan, focusing on the work of José Juan Tablada, one of the earliest poets to experiment with haiku in the Spanish language.

What was happening in France, Germany, and England in the late 19th and early 20th centuries? And how did translation shape what we now think of as English-language haiku and international haiku poetry?

We look at:

Early Western haiku (Spanish, French, German, English)

Ezra Pound’s In a Station of the Metro

Yone Noguchi and early English haiku

Haiku in translation
