The Haiku Foundation, Juxta 10 - Research and Scholarship in Haiku, December 2024

Grateful to have the following haiku translated and included in Seji Tethi's article "The Translation of English Haiku into Hindi"...

Conclusion:

"The translation of English haiku into Hindi is a multifaceted endeavor that goes beyond mere linguistic conversion. It demands an appreciation for the art of poetry, an understanding of cultural contexts, and a sensitivity to emotional nuances. Through thoughtful adaptation, translators can create haiku that not only retain the spirit of the original but also speak meaningfully to Hindi-speaking audiences. Ultimately, this process enriches both languages and fosters a deeper appreciation for the art of haiku across cultural boundaries."

My thanks to Stephen Addiss for his commentary below:

Utilizing digital elements to help transform both her watercolors and her digital images, Debbie Strange is able to create a number of focused images, many from everyday life. Some of her ink paintings are minimal but cogent, while her digital images tend to be more complex. In either case, there are always free areas that give the poems their own space while helping to complete meaningful visual structures.
