Edward Thomas and Haiku

Kendall, J

Abstract

A discussion of the close relation that Thomas's criticism, processes of composition and poetry bear to the writing of Japanese haiku, with some reference to 21st century contemporary British haiku writers and with an emphasis on Thomas's poetry about birds. This article has a close relation to Judy Kendall's monograph Edward Thomas, Birdsong and Flight, but gives more detail of her discussions of haiku, and was written specifically for members of the British Haiku Society.
