A VASE OF FLOWERS

Jose Juan Tablada

The toad sings a requiem

For the poor stars

Fallen in his puddle.

José Juan Tablada wrote the first book of Spanish-language haikus, the vastly influential artist’s book A Day. He followed it with another artist’s book, A Vase of Flowers, this time calling his haikus “dissociative lyrics”. The book is divided into sections such as The way, Bestiary, Landscapes and Seascapes, each one headed with an indigenist woodcut by Adolfo Best Maugard.
