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."
