EXAMPLES OF THE MOST BASIC KIND OF DESCRIPTIVE WRITING THERE IS AND WHY SIMPLER IS SOMETIMES BETTER

“The Old Pond” by Matsuo Bashō

An old silent pond

A frog jumps into the pond—

Splash! Silence again.

This traditional example comes from Matsuo Bashō, one of the four great masters of Haiku. Historically, haikus are a derivative of the Japanese Hokku. Hokkus are collaborative poems which follow the 5/7/5 rule. They are meant to comment on the season or surroundings of the authors and create some sort of contrasting imagery separated by a kireji or ��cutting word” (like “Splash!”).

“A World of Dew” by Kobayashi Issa

A world of dew,

And within every dewdrop

A world of struggle.

Though sometimes, the kireji comes at the end of a haiku to give it a sense of closure. Kobayashi Issa, another great Haiku master, writes this stirring poem that places the kireji at the end. Translated, Issa’s haiku doesn’t meet the 5/7/5 rule, but its power remains.

“Lighting One Candle” by Yosa Buson

The light of a candle

Is transferred to another candle—

Spring twilight

Haikus focus on a brief moment in time, juxtaposing two images, and creating a sudden sense of enlightenment. A good example of this is haiku master Yosa Buson’s comparison of a singular candle with the starry wonderment of the spring sky.

“A Poppy Blooms” by Katsushika Hokusai

I write, erase, rewrite

Erase again, and then

A poppy blooms.

Katsushika Hokusai, a disciple of Bashō, writes another powerful haiku that translation cannot accurately capture. In it, he compares a written poem to a blooming poppy. He uses imagery of the spring season to describe his writing process.

“Over the Wintry” by Natsume Sōseki

Over the wintry

Forest, winds howl in rage

With no leaves to blow.

A slightly more modern Japanese poet, Natsume Sōseki, likens his breath to the wind in this haunting haiku. He learned the art of composing haikus from one of the four great haiku masters: Masaoka Shiki. As the art of the haiku traveled west, influential American writers like Ezra Pound picked up the craft.

“In a Station of the Metro” by Ezra Pound

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;

Petals on a wet, black bough.

Describing the Paris Underground, “In a Station of the Metro” is often considered the first haiku written in English, though it does not follow the 5/7/5 structure. As Pound believed that superfluous words tend to dull an image, the philosophy of the Haiku is perfectly up his alley.

“The Taste of Rain” by Jack Kerouac

The taste

Of rain

—Why kneel?

Jack Kerouac proposed that, because the English language structure is different than Japanese, the western haiku should “simply say a lot in three short lines in any Western language. Above all, a Haiku must be very simple and free of all poetic trickery and make a little picture and yet be as airy and graceful as a Vivaldi Pastorella.” In Book of Haikus, Kerouac experiments this formal and freestyle.

Many western authors like to break with the 5/7/5 rule, but maintain the power, simplicity, and brevity.

Sonia Sanchez “Haiku [for you]”

love between us is

speech and breath. loving you is

a long river running.

Known for her innovative use of traditional formats like haiku in a modern context, even infusing them with bluesy rhythm, Sonia Sanchez received high praise for her collection Morning Haiku. In its opening essay, Sanchez expresses her deep appreciation for haiku as an art form.

Ravi Shankar “Lines on a Skull”

life’s little, our heads

sad. Redeemed and wasting clay

this chance. Be of use.

A slightly darker take on the art of haiku, “Lines on a Skull” is inspired by Lord Byron’s “Lines Inscribed Upon a Cup formed from a Skull.” Poet Ravi Shankar distills this late seventeenth-century poet’s words into a more modern, potent, and visceral version.  

Joyce Clement “Birds Punctuate the Days”

Period

One blue egg all summer long

Now gone

Poet Joyce Clement currently serves as a director of the Haiku Circle in Northfield, Massachusetts and co-editor of Frogpond, the journal of The Haiku Society of America; the title, a gentle nod to haiku master Bashō.

Tornabuoni Arte"

Giovedì 30 novembre 2023, Roberto Casamonti nella Galleria Tornabuoni Arte sul Lungarno Cellini, con il suo coinvolgente entusiasmo, ha presentato l’Antologia scelta 2024, che immancabilmente raccoglie le opere di Arte moderna e contemporanea più significative e importanti selezionate nel corso dell’ultimo anno, frutto dell’attento lavoro di ricerca della Tornabuoni Arte e del suo staff durante tutto il 2023.

Le opere sono state presentate nella sede istituzionale di Firenze Lungarno Cellini, 3 e durante tutto l’anno 2024 nelle altre sedi italiane di Milano, Roma e Forte dei Marmi.

Dal 12 dicembre, proprio nella sede milanese verrà presentata infatti una selezione di circa 30 delle opere più rappresentative del catalogo Antologia moderna e contemporanea.

L’Antologia scelta 2024 ha come prefazione un interessante saggio dal titolo Cronistoria, a firma della storica dell’Arte Sonia Zampini, che introduce al ricco apparato fotografico, oltre che alle accurate schede delle singole opere.

La mostra segue idealmente il percorso tracciato da Zampini nel suo testo, un percorso che attraversa il Novecento fino ai giorni nostri, scandito in periodi definiti, che tiene conto di come “la Storia dell’Arte sia espressione diretta del divenire dei tempi, in grado di persistere e mantenere vivo il suo respiro nel trascorrere degli accadimenti.”

La Storia d’altronde “determina il contesto in cui crescono e si affermano le definizioni del pensiero e le espressioni intellettuali e artistiche ad esso collegate.”

L'Antologia scelta 2024 è un'importante occasione per ammirare alcune delle opere più significative dell'Arte moderna e contemporanea.

La Mostra offre un'ampia panoramica delle tendenze artistiche che hanno caratterizzato gli ultimi cento anni, e rappresenta un'occasione preziosa per conoscere le opere di alcuni dei più grandi artisti del XX e XXI secolo.

La Mostra Antologia scelta 2024 presenta un'ampia selezione di opere di Artisti italiani e internazionali di Arte moderna tra cui :

Umberto Boccioni, Giacomo Balla, Gino Severini, Giorgio de Chirico, Carlo Carrà, Amedeo Modigliani, Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, per l'Arte contemporanea : Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, Gerhard Richter, Sigmar Polke, Cy Twombly, Anselm Kiefer, Francesco Clemente, Mimmo Paladino, Enzo Cucchi, Sandro Chia, Mario Schifano, Lucio Fontana, Piero Manzoni

La mostra Antologia scelta 2024, inaugurata a Firenze giovedì 30 novembre 2023, resterà aperta fino al 27 novembre 2024.

La Mostra Antologia scelta 2024 a Milano sarà inaugurata il 12 dicembre 2023 e resterà aperta fino al 27 novembre 2024.

Rivers of Babylon - The Melodians (1970)

"The Melodians were a rocksteady harmony trio composed of Tony Brevett, Brent Dowe, and Trevor McNaughton. There was a fourth member, Robert Cogle, but he apparently contributed to the group only as a songwriter, not as a singer. After singing in various amateur talent shows from 1960 on, they recorded for Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd in 1966, and had a series of hits for the producer Duke Reid in 1967-68. They then recorded several songs for Sonia Pottinger before working with Leslie Kong in 1969-70. They recorded an album's worth of material for Kong, notably hits like 'It's My Delight' and 'Sweet Sensation' (which were released in the UK on a Trojan 45 at the time and were later covered by the British reggae band UB40 in the 1980's and 1990's), but it was 'Rivers of Babylon,' a Rasta-influenced hymn-like song, that was to prove their biggest hit. ..."

Who Are You? (2022)

After 18 years of working as a domestic helper in Singapore, Lisa wants more from life. She seeks help from Sam, the playful but kind-hearted boy who grew up under her care. Meanwhile, her best friend Mirah receives unexpected news from home which sends her into a life-changing dilemma, forcing her to negotiate with her reticent employer Susan. Migrant brother Hassan forms an unlikely friendship with Singaporean rebel Amanda, and begins to discover what he has been needing all along.

In Who Are You? created by the Migrant Writers of Singapore in collaboration with local theatre artists, worlds between migrants and locals collide as they learn to trust, confront and depend on each other. Their intersecting stories delve into questions of identity and longing, and ask how we can truly see each other as fellow human beings with similar hopes, desires, and fears. Over the course of this one-act, Who Are You? attempts to disrupt existing biases while connecting us more deeply in a world that tries to keep us apart.

Migrant Writers of Singapore would like to thank Singapore Repertory Theatre for their generous support with rehearsal venue, Poh Yu Khing for production photography, See Yong Xin for publicity photography and scenic design, Cheng Nien Yuan for dramaturgical feedback and Indonesian translations, and Zakir Hossain Khokan for bringing us all together.

Written & Directed by Sim Yan Ying “YY” Devised with & Performed by Akm Mazharul Abedin, Auderia Tan, Clement Yeo, Ellen Lavilla, Rachel Nip & Sonia Serrenade Sound Design & Op by Jay Ong Props Coordination & Surtitle Op by Philippe Pang

Tegan and Sara Short Film 

By: Ann Marie Fleming

[asenseofsymmetry]

“That way Sonia would get a lot of character development when she has to figure out how to go from viewing incest in the light of child abuse to accepting her daughters relationship”

Amazing.

Isn’t it ironic Sonia was studying incest? Like during her early social worker career and even as her thesis? It’s been on my mind the last 2 days… I wonder if she ever tries to study our fandom… like little test bunnies

[ftmcanadians]

I'm seeing a new therapist on Saturday. Her name is Sonia Clement. I'm wondering if anyone in Vancouver has gone to her and could give me a little review about her. I'm a little nervous about seeing a new therapist so hearing your guys experiences would help

Folks in Vancouver area?

Info from a Follower:To that anon asking about Sonia Clement. When I was living in Vancouver I went to her for nearly 2 years. She is 100% the best therapist that I've gone to. Her two kids are also apart of the LGBT community so she's able to use her first hand experience to help you. At the time I didn't realize that she is Tegan and Sara's mom. So I guess that makes her even more amazing lol

[jackbatchelor3]

So basically, if Sonia never met Enrico, and Nicky never broke up with Martin, Bex would probably never have existed.
