Variation on an earlier haiku. Sort of cheating, I know. 😊

dabbe It's not cheating! Monet painted 25 haystacks, all variations depending on the type of light in the day. You're doing Monet with words! 💛🐝🖤 3w

Haiku: This Other World | Richard Nathaniel Wright, Yodhinobu Hakatuni

pick

Near the end of his life, Richard Wright, best known for his 1940s novel of Black repression, Native Son, (not read), began writing haiku.

To say that these are some of the best English Language haiku I have ever read is not hyperbole. It‘s evident in every line that Wright was enamored by the deceptively complex form and respected it.

Wright, a Black Man in 1950s America, found in Nature a place of belonging. Such is the power of haiku.

The Long Dream | Richard Wright

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Eight Men: Short Stories | Richard Wright

pick

“Therefore if, within the confines of its present culture, the nation ever seeks to purge itself of its color hate, it will find itself at war with itself, convulsed by a spasm of emotional and moral confusion.” How prescient those words!
Often bleak, sometimes funny, always well written, these 8 stories of 8 black men (or 7 men and one boy) moved me. The final story, which I quote above, was perhaps my favorite. All will stay with me a long time.

Suet624 Wow. Thanks for sharing this quote. 2y
