| 備考/ NotesNotes |
Kenneth Rexroth was an autodidact, or self-taught scholar-critic, poet and translator with an acerbic wit. “Peripateticism and a spirit free of prejudice, rather than a focus on the local” defined his personality. He translated from many languages, including Japanese, and traveled to many countries, including long stints in Kyoto. This course hopes to pique class members’ interest and serious study from his fascinating oeuvre. Japan has taken to Rexroth, by purchasing his study, which is located at Kanda Gaigo Gakuin University, which also held a Rexroth conference, and with distinguished publisher Shichosha publishing a selected volume in its World Poets series. Three fields of his poetry will be studied this semester: his anti-war / anti-state poetry, his love poetry, and nature poetry. Through these fields of study, focusing on methodology and messages, we will consider deeply the attraction of his poetry to a Japanese readership.
This semester will begin with an introduction of Kenneth Rexroth via his early shorter poems. Then his famous anti-war poem, dedicated to Dylan Thomas, will be given rigid analysis, including his oral reading of it to improvised jazz. We will then move on to his love poem The Signature of All Things, poems written while living in Japan, including the Silver Swan and On Flower Wreath Hill. Finally, we will survey sections of his translations from the Japanese, including the Manyoshu, work by “Marichiko,” and Shiraishi Kazuko. The study from this course will culminate in an academic essay on aspects on one of these verses and one translation chosen from Rexroth’s translated Japanese work or authors.
