This week, I’m going to be continuing with the theme of death poetry, taking a look at some interesting areas:
- Japanese prisoners of war, held in Japan and other countries, writing their jisei before their execution
- Poems written by those about to commit seppuku
- Poems from the ancient masters of our genre
Anyone who doesn’t want to listen to poems on these tough subjects, maybe come back next week.
Please consider...
Today's podcast is about Death Poetry, more specifically
* Jisei,
* Zekku
* Death awareness poetry.
It will be the first of a two-part series of podcasts. I’ll share what I’ve learnt with you, read you some poetry and then give you a clue as to what I’ll be expecting next month in the death poem submission period. There will be rabbit holes…
