LACQUER PRINTS

Amy Lowell

Turning from the page,

Blind with a night of labour,

I hear morning crows.

The  Imagist poet Amy Lowell first learned of haiku from her brother’s Japanese secretary.  Her fusion of free-verse techniques with the traditional approach has earned her the ire of purists, but her 1921 haiku cycle, Twenty-four Hokku on a Modern Theme, retains its starling intimacy a century on.
