Transcultural Haiku

The monograph presents the Polish history of haiku and the forms associated with the genre in literature and visual arts. Polish works are confronted with Japanese poetry (along with its aesthetic and philosophical contexts) and with haiku-inspired works of different Western authors. The book also touches upon various translatological problems.
