Sadakichi Hartmann - Drifting Flowers & Other Verses Public Domain Poets #10 Publicdomainpoets.com Containing Sadakichi Hartmann's 'Tanka & Haikai: Japanese Rhythms' (1915); selections from 'My Rubaiyat' (1913), and the earlier, 'Drifting Flowers of the Sea' (1904); and the essays 'Why I Publish My Own Books' (1915) and 'The Japanese Conception of Poetry' (1904). New edition designed, edited, and selected by Dick Whyte. If pleasures be mine As aeons and aeons roll by, Why should I repine That under some future sky I may live as a butterfly. Hartmann (1867-1944) was born on the island of Dejima, off the coast of Nagasaki, to a Japanese mother and German father. His mother died giving birth to his brother, and they were sent to Germany to live with relatives. Hartmann later ran away to Paris, was disinherited by his father, and sent to Philadelphia, to live with an uncle. It was there he self-published his first dramatic works, and a book of conversations with Walt Whitman. White petals afloat On a winding woodland stream- What else is life's dream? In the 1900s Hartmann started writing poetry, drawing influence from Whitman, French symbolism, and Japanese poetics, and in 1904 he published the earliest known set of English-language tanka, alongside a short essay on tanka and haiku aesthetics. In the 1910s he followed this up with a collection of linked tanka-esque blank-verse, inspired by the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, and befriended writers like Gertrude Stein and Ezra Pound. Hartmann's 'Japanese Rhythms' (1916), remains one of the earliest published collections devoted to English-language tanka and haikai, followed by Noguchi's 'Japanese Hokkus' (1920), and Jun Fujita's 'Tanka: Poems in Exile' (1923). Public Domain Press is dedicated to producing contemporary editions of out-of-print poets and poetry collections, particularly with regard to compressed and fragmented 'free verse' from the late-1800s and early-1900s. All poems start as facsimiles - to preserve the original fonts - which are then cleaned up, edited for consistency, and spaciously laid-out, adorned with borders, illustrations, and ornaments from the books and magazines they originally appeared in. These are not "reprints" of previously existing books, but newly crafted collection, lovingly edited from public domain material, for the serious poetry lover.

Even though Asian American literature is enjoying an impressive critical popularity, attention has focused primarily on longer narrative forms such as the novel. And despite the proliferation of a large number of poets of Asian descent in the 20th century, Asian American poetry remains a neglected area of study. Poetry as an elite genre has not reached the level of popularity of the novel or short story, partly due to the difficulties of reading and interpreting poetic texts. The lack of criticism on Asian American poetry speaks to the urgent need for scholarship in this area, since perhaps more than any other genre, poetry most forcefully captures the intense feelings and emotions that Asian Americans have experienced about themselves and their world. This reference book overviews the tremendous cultural contributions of Asian American poets. Included are alphabetically arranged entries on 48 American poets of Asian descent, most of whom have been active during the latter half of the 20th century. Each entry begins with a short biography, which sometimes includes information drawn from personal interviews. The entries then discuss the poet's major works and themes, including such concerns as family, racism, sexism, identity, language, and politics. A survey of the poet's critical reception follows. In many cases the existing criticism is scant, and the entries offer new readings of neglected works. The entries conclude with bibliographies of primary and secondary texts, and the volume closes with a selected, general bibliography.

One of the Atlantic's "Books to Get Lost in This Summer" Best Books of August 2023: New York Times Book Review, Christian Science Monitor, InsideHook, BookRiot, WNET AllArts, Arlington Magazine A trenchant reclamation of the Chinese American movie star, whose battles against cinematic exploitation and endemic racism are set against the currents of twentieth-century history. Born into the steam and starch of a Chinese laundry, Anna May Wong (1905–1961) emerged from turn-of-the-century Los Angeles to become Old Hollywood’s most famous Chinese American actress, a screen siren who captivated global audiences and signed her publicity photos—with a touch of defiance—“Orientally yours.” Now, more than a century after her birth, Yunte Huang narrates Wong’s tragic life story, retracing her journey from Chinatown to silent-era Hollywood, and from Weimar Berlin to decadent, prewar Shanghai, and capturing American television in its infancy. As Huang shows, Wong’s rendezvous with history features a remarkable parade of characters, including a smitten Walter Benjamin and (an equally smitten) Marlene Dietrich. Challenging the parodically racist perceptions of Wong as a “Dragon Lady,” “Madame Butterfly,” or “China Doll,” Huang’s biography becomes a truly resonant work of history that reflects the raging anti-Chinese xenophobia, unabashed sexism, and ageism toward women that defined both Hollywood and America in Wong’s all-too-brief fifty-six years on earth.

This book traces the emergence of modern American poetry at the turn of the nineteenth century. With a particular focus on four "little magazines"--Poetry, The Masses, Others, and The Seven Arts--John Timberman Newcomb shows how each advanced ambitious agendas combining urban subjects, stylistic experimentation, and progressive social ideals. While subsequent literary history has favored the poets whose work made them distinct--individuals singled out usually on the basis of a novel technique--Newcomb provides a denser, richer view of the history that hundreds of poets made.
