In this episode of Poetry Pea: The Senryū Sessions (Part Two) , Patricia dives deeper into the poetic dance between haiku and senryū — where do they meet, and where do they part ways? With insights from scholars like Shirane, Wirth, Pizzarelli, and Virgil, we explore what makes a haiku an observation and a senryū a commentary. Through poems by Linda Ludwig, Vera Constantineau, Sam Blair, Shiki, Matt Snyder and others, we untangle how tone, imagery, and human perspective shape these distinct short forms. Join us as we question, laugh, and maybe disagree — all in the spirit of good poetry. 🎧 Featuring: Thoughtful comparisons between haiku and senryū Readings and analysis of poems from Poetry Pea Journal and Prune Juice A few surprises (and laughs) along the way 🕊️ Keep up with the series and make sure you've subscribed to the Podcast, wherever you are listening.
