KYOKA POETRY SOCIETIESBiblio.com

A collection of 118 printed broadsides ranging from 308 x 450 mm. to 156 x 95 mm. produced as notices by various kyoka poetry societies all carefully bound in one orihon silk-covered album. Upper cover title-slip: â€œDai surichirashi shuranâ€ trans.: â€œVarious broadsides & sheets collected & pasted in an albumâ€

6225 An important and remarkable survival. â€œIn general the chonin the bourgeois citizens of Edo and Osaka particularly enjoyed literature that was light and entertaining: stories of love and intrigue often with fantastic or occult elements; and verse that was very much on the surface relying greatly for its appeal on word-plays that the nature of the language with it innumerable homophones encouragesâ€¦from the beginning of the Temmei period in 1781 kyoka verse became a major leisure activity of the chonin and of some samuraiâ€¦ â€œThe Temmei vogue for kyoka â€” literally â€˜crazy versesâ€™ â€”was a revival. The form had originated as early as the fourteenth century and had had its first flowering in the seventeenthâ€¦But the revival in the Temmei period led to a phenomenon a positive craze for amateur verse-writing on a scale more widespread than is known in any other nation at any time. It became a cult with rival factions or societies each headed by high priests who were teachers and adjudicators of frequent competitions.â€â€“Hillier The Art of the Japanese Book p. 372. Many of the leading Ukiyo-e artists were involved with kyoka from the very beginning including Hokusai Kuniyoshi Hokkei and Hiroshige. This unique collection of broadsides and handbills issued by many of the kyoka societies demonstrates the intense activity which took place nationwide. These broadsides are by their nature extremely ephemeral and our collection offers a unique window into this world of amateur poetry writing in late Edo Japan. The many types of broadsides were issued for different reasons: announcements of forthcoming publications and meetings names of the judges and editors themes of kyoka flowers Spring Summer the turning of maple leaves in the Fall snowy days etc. mentioning how a â€œsuperstarâ€ of kyoka will write verse for an individual club lists of those chosen as participants in competitions names of the individual clubs and societies announcements of the artists and calligraphers participating in publications of kyoka requests for submissions and dates when submissions will be selected cities in which the competitions will be held pen-names or nicknames of the contributors all witty rewards of silver for the best submissions announcements of recently deceased kyoka writers and appeals for written contributions to their memorial volumes etc. etc. The broadsides also include banzuke rankings of the poets almost like batting averages in baseball. Many of the broadsides contain color-printed illustrations backgrounds or borders. In fine and fresh condition. Some of the broadsides are somewhat wormed. Preserved in a chitsu. unknown

"The title of this book is taken from Henry Miller's "Into the Night Life" and expresses the way I felt about these poems when he wrote them during a short period in the 1950's-as if they were taken together a kind of Coney Island of the mind a kind of circus of the soul."

(WOMEN'S POETRY, 19TH CENTURY AMERICAN). MILNE, FRANCES MARGARETBiblio.com

A COTTAGE GRAY AND OTHER POEMS

1895ST19567-179Buffalo: Charles Wells Moulton 1895. FIRST EDITION. No. 229 OF 600. 155 x 195 mm. 6 1/8 x 4 3/4". 79 1 pp. Publisher’s illustrated brown cloth binding edges beveled front board stamped in gilt flat spine top edge gilt. Photograph of the author mounted on page 6 facing the half title. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR on the limitation page; title page printed in red and black. Cloth with just the slightest hint of wear and soiling; internally fresh and clean. This is an excellent copy of a very personal collection of poetry by a female writer of the late 19th century offered in a signed limited edition. Born in Northern Ireland Frances Margaret Milne 1846-1910 spent most of her life in San Luis Obispo California where she worked as a librarian and volunteered tirelessly for social causes. Much of her writing was political in nature: the 1893 publication "A Woman of the Century" a collection of biographies of "leading American women in all walks of life" said she had "made a profound study of economic and political questions and with pen and voice . . . and had aided in extending the discussion of the relations of progress and poverty and of individuals and society." She also published a number of fictional and poetic works; this was her second collection of poems. They primarily deal with themes of love and loss and while the poems have some of the formulaic gentility one would expect from a writer of this period and background the genuine emotions behind them are clear. By turns ebullient and poignant the text has works—such as the poem "To My Beloved at rest May 11th 1804"—that reflect the grief and joy of Milne's intense personal experiences. Copies of the book are not so readily available especially in the condition seen here. Charles Wells Moulton unknown
