Kennel, Maxwell. Ontologies of Violence: Deconstruction, Pacifism, and Displacement. Leiden, The Netherlands: Brill, 2023.
I am participating in a special issue of a journal about this recently-released book. My review copy came in the mail a few days ago.
Saitō, Sanki. Selected Haiku, 1933-1962. Trans. Masaya Saito. Tokyo: Isobar Press, 2023.
I’ve been focusing more on reading and writing haiku lately, and read a glowing review of this book, so I decided to buy it.
Shea, James, and Grant Caldwell, eds. The Routledge Global Haiku Reader. London: Routledge, 2024.
As part of my recent reading about haiku, I am trying to read more haiku history and literary criticism. I read a review of this recent book (so recent that it does the weird but not totally unusual thing of having a copyright date for the year after it actually comes out) that recommended it, so I decided to buy it.
