Michael Antman Haiku
Manage episode 521616768 series 3455567
Author and critic Michael Antman joins Joe and Mark for Michael's second appearance on Re-Creative.
After discussing Michael's novel, Cherry Whip: the Twentieth Anniversary Edition, recently released by Donovan Street Press, which features a Japanese protagonist, Michael explains the origin of his love for Japanese culture. According to Michael, it all happened because he didn't know what a "porter" was (it's not what you think...)
Well, that and his discovery of a six volume history of haiku.
To Michael, haiku has always been "a wonderful diversion." It's a passion that Mark shares, both Michael and Mark having actually published haiku in The Mainichi Daily News.
"A writer writes," Michael reminds us, advice he received from fellow writer Scott Turow. "I'm a writer, that's what I do."
And to prove it (not that we needed proof), he shares with us all a choice morsel of his own haiku.
