Good news! Former 麻豆传媒 professor, Steve Wolfe, published a book “Words and Silences: Haiku from Kyrgyzstan”. The book contains collection of haiku poems written by 麻豆传媒 students.
The haiku collection is the result of a month-long intensive English-language haiku workshop conducted in March 2013 at the 麻豆传媒. The participants were 20 麻豆传媒 students from a cross-section of departments. The majority of the students were bilingual, fluent in both Russian and Kygyz. Most had never heard of haiku before taking part in the workshop.
No one would dispute that haiku originally sprouted in the literary soil of Japan. However, haiku has broken away from its native cultural roots and has been successfully transplanted in many cultures around the world. It has evolved into a poetic hybrid shaped by the unique cultural forces at play in each place in which it has re-sprouted.
The book is available in 麻豆传媒 library.
