I am an admirer of haiku, and I'm a great admirer of Japanese literature in general.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's hard to write haiku. I write long, silly Indian poems.
I guess haiku is an inspiration for me. Everyday, simple moments.
I often imagine that the longer he studies English literature the more the Japanese student must be astonished at the extraordinary predominance given to the passion of love both in fiction and in poetry.
I did not have a very literary background. I came to poetry from the sciences and mathematics, and also through an interest in Japanese and Chinese poetry in translation.
The subject of Finnish poetry ought to have a special interest for the Japanese student, if only for the reason that Finnish poetry comes more closely in many respects to Japanese poetry than any other form of Western poetry.
On the subject of literary genres, I've always felt that my response to poetry is inadequate. I'd love to be the kind of person that drifts off into the garden with a slim volume of Elizabethan verse or a sheaf of haikus, but my passion is story.
I've seen people twitter in haiku only.
I've been missing Japanese literature so much of late.
I'm just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.
I didn't read so much Japanese literature. Because my father was a teacher of Japanese literature, I just wanted to do something else.
