The Routledge Global Haiku Reader provides a historical overview and comprehensive examination of haiku across the world in numerous languages, poetic movements, and cultural contexts. Offering an extensive critical perspective, this volume provides leading essays by poets and scholars who explore haiku's various global developments, demonstrating the form's complex and sometimes contradictory manifestations from the twentieth century to the present. The sixteen chapters are carefully organized into categories that reflect the salient areas of practice and study: Haiku in Transit, Haiku and Social Consciousness, Haiku and Experimentation, The Future of Global Haiku. An insightful introduction surveys haiku's influence beyond Japan and frames the collection historically and culturally, questioning commonly held assumptions about haiku and laying the groundwork for new ways of seeing the form. Haiku's elusiveness, its resistance to definition, is partly what keeps it so relevant today, and this book traces the many ways in which this global verse form has evolved. The Routledge Global Haiku Reader ushers haiku into the twenty-first century in a critically minded and historically informed manner for a new generation of readers and writers and will appeal to students and researchers in literary studies, Asian studies, comparative literature, cultural studies and creative writing.

Are other teachers using technology in their lessons? Are you letting your own students down by not harnessing the power of your students' technology knowledge in your lessons? Is your school asking you to show where you are developing ICT in your subject teaching? ICT in your subject does not mean teaching databases, spreadsheets or word processing. Having technical knowledge is no longer sufficient or indeed necessary in today's world - more important is the knowledge of how to advise and teach students to use technology efficiently and responsibly through their subject. Students faced with a 'problem' will need to hunt the internet for open source software, download apps and respond to the problem using technology as a problem solving tool. The scenarios are endless, but can be generated by the teacher - this could mean students publishing work through Amazon's Kindle or keeping a blog within a class wiki. Teachers do not need to have technical knowledge; rather they need knowledge of trends and opportunities. They then need to blend their basic subject pedagogy within these new trends to contextualise ICT skills.This book looks at pedagogical approaches to using ICT in the classroom that will help you to harness future trends, technology and software and embed them into your subject teaching. Full of practical advice, it illustrates how secondary teachers - of any discipline - can accelerate their students' learning, progress and ability within their subject whilst developing the soft ICT skills needed in the workplace and society. Including case studies and examples throughout, chapters cover: Mixing traditional teaching methods with e-learning Developing interactive students Mobile technologies Student safety online E-Portfolios and Virtual Learning Environments Using technology to extend learning beyond the classroom Ask yourself, would you be happy if your doctor did not use new technology to advance their practice? The same goes for you - your students need only a little encouragement and they are quite capable of doing all the work. This timely new book will help you structure your teaching to harness the latest developments in ICT in tandem with the students you teach.

Yam Gong is a leading Hong Kong poet who has worked as a laborer since adolescence and produced many of his poems during his work breaks. An outsider poet, he explores the synthesis of everyday life and philosophical inquiry. Using shifting tonal registers, he refashions borrowed language, including English song lyrics, Cantonese wordplay, Chinese folk stories and poems, news reports, prayers, and slang. This bilingual volume is the first book-length collection of Yam Gong’s poems in English, drawing from his most important work over the past forty years. Moving a Stone: Selected Poems of Yam Gong is the fourth title in Zephyr’s Hong Kong Atlas series, the only series in the world to showcase Hong Kong poetry in English.
"James Shea brings us to the edge of the unknown and points into the darkness, until our eyes adjust and we see that he is pointing at himself, already there. These poems make me wish I had the same dreams Shea has; after reading this book it seems possible--anything does."--Nick Flynn
James Shea's second collection engages in lucid, perspicacious conversation with narratives public and personal, visible and unseen, the loss in the title cycloning out from Midwestern landscapes to histories and undertows and the "unorganized movement of time" that "bedevils us." A stunning, thoughtful follow-up to his Fence Modern Poets Prize-winning debut "Star in the Eye." From "Moscow": " We saw the legs James Shea is the author of "Star in the Eye," selected for the 2008 Fence Modern Poets Series and named as a "Favorite Book of 2008" by the "Chicago Sun-Times." His work has appeared in various publications, including "Boston Review," "Colorado Review," "Denver Quarterly," "jubilat," "Iowa Review," and the Academy of American Poets' Poem-A-Day feature. His translations of Japanese poetry can be found in the "Iowa Review," "Circumference," and "Gin'yu." He was included recently in the Poetry Society of America's New American Poets series. He teaches at Nebraska Wesleyan University.
