各国の詩人たちへ英語でプレゼン！

Sat, 31 Oct 2015 02:01:38 +0900

これは、10月17日マケドニアのテトヴァで私が「Duet of Roads」の紹介を各国から来た詩人たちに英語でしている画像と英語の原稿です。日本語も少し入っています。This is a picture and a munuscript of my presentation of "Duet of Road" by me and Shaip Emerllahu at Tetova in Macedonia on October 17,2015.

"Konnichiwa, Mir dita, Dobar den, Hello, Bonjour, Buon giorno, Hola, Bom dia, ,안녕하세요(annyon haseyoo), 你好(nii hao) ! I’m so happy to meet you from various countries all over the world.
.
Let me introduce myself to you. I am Taro Aizu from Japan. I have been writing haiku and gogyoshi in three languages, Japanese, English and French for five years. And then I have been publishing them in facebook for three years. As you know, haiku is very popular in the world now because haiku is very short poem written in three lines. But I think most of you don’t know gogyoshi well. “Gogyo” of gogyoshi means five lines in Japanese and “shi” means a poem in Japanese. So gogyoshi means a poem written in five lines. And it has no restriction with regard to syllables. As a conclusion, gogyoshi is a free verse written in five lines. I am a poet of both haiku and gogyoshi in Japan. OK?
.
Now, please take a look at this book titled “Duet of Roads”. This is a very new poetry book published recently in Japan. I’ll be referring to this book from now on. “Duet” means a musical performance by two players as you know and “Roads” mean the two roads of our poetic careers, in other words, poetic roads! This book includes poems by Shaip Emerllahu and haiku and gogyoshi by me. Mariko Sumikura edited it. She is a famous poet in Japan and she is a director of JUNPA.

.What is JUNPA? It means Japan Universal Poet Association. JUNPA has been publishing as a series of Duets by two poets, one from Japan, one from another country. For example, “Duet of Time” “Duet of Wind” “Duet of Life” and so on. We have published 12 poetry books so far. We titled this series “Western-Eastern Poets in Sympathy : Poetic Dialogue”. This year I, as an eastern poet published “Duet of Roads” with Shaip Emerllahu, as a western poet. So this is a Poetic Dialogue by a western poet and an eastern poet. OK?
.
This book is composed of two chapters. The first chapter is written in Japanese and the second in English. Look at the first chapter. Many poems by Shaip are translated into Japanese by Mariko. Of course, she translated his English version into Japanese as we can’t understand Macedonian or Albanian language. She translated his poems titled “Dead End” and “My generation” into Japanese. This is the first Albanian poetry book in Japan and will introduce Albanian poems to Japanese people from now on.
I am going to read the first poem of “Dead end” in Japanese here only a bit.
.
人生のきれっぱし

もしもあした
光る眼差しのワルツが
踊られなかったら
道の両脇を開けよ

過去へとステップを踏みながら
慰めだけが与えられる

何かが来るという言葉は
命のネックレスになる

.This poem is very poignant but very moving and touching!

.The next is about my poem. I cited many gogyoshi from “ Waga Fukushima My Fukushima Mon Fukushima” which I published in three languages, Japanese, English and French in Japan last year. Look at this book. Many Facebook friends all over the world helped me with the English version, French version and 20 other translations. In particular, Jagotka Tomovska translated it into Macedonian last year. But I have no Albanian version now. But yesterday Jeton told me he would translate it into Albanian!
I cited many gogyoshi from the poetry book. Here I’m going to read one of them in Japanese. This has a title because we can add a title to gogyoshi. Maybe you will enjoy the sounds of Japanese gogyoshi from now on..
.
谷川
春の光の下
濁った川が
激しく流れて来るー
遠い山並み
眩しい残雪
.
Have you enjoyed the Japanese sounds? OK,Good!
If I keep on reading it longer in Japanese, you will be very bored and tired. So I stop it here.
.
Now, I’m going to explain the second chapter. This is written in English. Most of you can understand all poems of the second chapter. Mariko cited many poems from “My Generation” by Shaip Emerllahu. I’m going to introduce one of them in English here. The title is “The Apples of Tetova”.
.
Through the concerted centuries
Tetova pruned and watered
Its own apple trees
.
Like rock salt
You’ll want to burst
When you spot them turned rotten
From maggots
.
In the end
They’ve eaten so much
Their teeth went numb.
.
This poem has a symbolic meaning. Very deep and touching!
The next is my haibun. What is haibun? It’s haiku mixed with a short prose. Only haiku is difficult for readers to understand well as it’s very short. For example, I’m going to cite one haiku without a short prose from the second chapter.
.
A daffodil blooms
In the deserted garden –
Silent energy
.
Have you understood this haiku well? What is “the deserted garden”? What is “silent energy”?
Now I’ll add a short prose to the haiku and read the whole.
March came again. But there were no people living near Fukushima Nuclear Plant. I walked around a house broken by the tsunami and saw something yellow in the debris.
.
A daffodil blooms
In the deserted garden –
Silent energy
.
This is not haiku but haibun. Haibun is easier for many readers to understand because I added an explanation before haiku. I included many haibun in the book so that foreign readers could understand better the miserable disasters of Fukushima Nuclear Plant accident. I recommend you to write haibun rather than haiku because you can convey your feelings and thoughts to readers.
.
Finally I added author's profile and photos at the last page.
This is my explanation about “Duet of Roads” by Shaip Emerllahu and Taro Aizu. You can buy the book by amazon.com and amazon kindle now.

マケドニアでLiterary Awardを受賞しました！

Wed, 28 Oct 2015 23:02:01 +0900

I got Literary Award for my literary career from International Poetry Festival,"DITET E NAIMIT" in Tetova of Macedonia on October 18,2015. It was very surprising to me! Unbelievable! 


10月15日マケドニアのテトヴァで行われた詩祭に招待され、飛行機に乗って15時間かけてはるばる行ったら、なんと18日の夜に、文学賞を頂きました。それは、たとえば世界各地での五行詩展示会など私の詩の功績をたたえる文学賞（Literary Award)です。授賞理由はこの2，3年間の3カ国語による詩集出版と、それに基づく7カ国に渡る10回の「わが福島」展示会にあるようです。確かにそれは前例のない画期的な出版であり、国際的な影響を持ちましたが、「なんで俺が？」という不思議な気分でもあります。

Gogyoshi in three languages dedicated to Moumin!
 Gogyoshi en trois langues d??di?? ?? Moumin !


     春

眠っている　
 犬の背中へ
 ふんわりと
舞い落ちる
桜の花びら



     夏


武者震いしながら
全身の水を
光の中へ
 はじき出す
真夏の犬


   　秋


首輪をはずせば
犬はためらいながらも
思いっきり駆け出す
誰もいない
夜明けの公園


　　冬


寒い寒い冬の夜
 駅からぶらぶら
歩いて帰ると
犬の鳴き声が
遠く聞こえてくる


    Spring


A cherry blossom
 falls silently
 onto the back
 of our dog
 sleeping soundly


    Summer
 

 While being washed,
 suddenly
 my dog shakes
 a vibrant splash
 against summer light


    Autumn

At dawn
 no one has come yet
 to the wide lawn.
 I release my dog
 from his collar


     Winter

Closer and closer
 As I come to my house
 in the cold night,
 I hear my dog barking 
 louder and louder


    Le printemps


Un p??tale
 de cerisier
 tombe sur le dos
 de mon chien 
 qui dort profond??ment


      L'??t??

Quand je lave mon chien
 tout ?? coup
 il ??clabousse
 de mille gouttes
 la lumi??re d'??t??


     L'automne


?? l'aube 
 personne n’est venu encore
 sur cette grande pelouse.
 je lib??re mon chien
 de son collier


      L'hiver


De plus en plus pr??s
 quand je m’approche de ma maison
 dans la nuit froide,
 j’entends mon chien aboyer
 de plus en plus fort

 .Haiku of my beloved dog : Moumin!

1.

On my way home
 I bought a diaper for my dog-
 cherry blossoms.

2.

I make a quilt
 down bed for my dog -
 cold spring.

3.

I hope my dog
 will drink water in bed-
 cherry blossoms.

4

I wipe 
 my bedridden dog
 with a towel.

5

My bedridden dog
 stands up at last-
 spring morning.

6

My beloved dog
 is bedridden again
 all day long.

7

I close
 open eyes of my dog-
 the deathbed.

8

Moumin departed here
 in full bloom of cherry blossoms-
 my lawn garden.
