About this listen

This episode of the Poetry PeaPodcast is Part One of a series on senryū. A form of Japanese short poetry

We begin by asserting that senryū do not have to be humorous. They offer sharp, human insights that continue to spark debate among poets and editors. In this episode you’ll hear examples from both the Japanese canon and contemporary English-language poets, with commentary and context to guide you.

Over the coming episodes in this series, we’ll learn the differences between haiku & senryū, discover the living practice of senryū, and consider their place alongside haiku in today’s poetry world.

Perfect for anyone curious about senryū, haiku, and Japanese short-form poetry in English.
