Cross-cultural poetics
Sonia Sanchez's like the singing coming off the drums
Yoshinobu Hakutani
pp. 65-79
Some accomplished poets produced their work in isolation. Emily Dickinson is one of the world's best-known and widely admired poets, though at the time of her death in 1886 only eight of her more than seventeen hundred poems had been published. Richard Wright wrote in exile over four thousand haiku in his last year and half. But only twenty-four of them had posthumously appeared in print before the publication of his Haiku: This Other World (1998), a collection of 817 haiku that Wright himself had selected.
