juxtaposé by Mark Brooks: Bashô & Welch

haiku by Bashô, haiga by Kuniharu Shimizu from haijinx II:1

Mark Brooks (registry bio 2010 | haijinx autobio 2002) created “juxtaposé”, a regular feature for haijinx where two haiku, one classic and one modern, were juxtaposed to create an exposé of their intertextual relationships.

For the first installment of juxtaposé, Mark examined an award-winning haiku by Michael Dylan Welch alongside a classic haiku from Bashô. Click the link below to access that column.

haijinx II:1 : juxtaposé: Bashô & Michael Dylan Welch (Spring 2002)

note from the editor
The original issues of haijinx are not indexed by the new site automatically. So from time to time I will add a quick post that links to an older piece. Eventually this will enable readers to find these original items using the tags, etc in the new haijinx. As this feature was to be a regular column in the print version of haijinx, a handful of unreleased juxtaposé columns will be posted in the future.
