    • Celebrating Artists – Beyond Book Covers

    So today, I wanted to talk a little bit about some artists I love – and why I think as important as it is for writers to be plugged into a writer’s community, they should also strive to connect to the visual art community. And it’s not just so they have slamming art to use the next time they have a book cover coming up! (Although that is a positive side-effect…)

    Tonight, I’m going to the reception for artist Yumiko Kayukawa, whose new show is opening at terrific Seattle gallery Roq La Rue. (She also graciously allowed me to use her piece, “Zen Cracker,” for this web site.) You can see some preview art for the show here. So many people talk about the SAM, the Seattle Art Museum, or maybe they mention the Henry Art Gallery at UW, which hosts some kickin’ literary events as well. Both deserve a visit, but this quirky downtown gallery always has something up on its walls that makes me wish I could afford to buy more art.

    And soon, I’ll be reading October 21 at a reception for local painter Deborah Scott, whose fairy tale series “Waiting for Prince Charming” is a combination of subversive pop culture wit and traditional stunning painting techniques. Check out this review of her show here. It starts today as well – click here for more information about viewing her work! You can see why I’d like her work.

    I’m hoping to meet up with the cover artist of my first book (Becoming the Villainess) Michaela Eaves, at the opening tonight, and I just wish I could follow Rene Lynch (the cover artist of She Returns to the Floating World) around because her exhibitions are always in fancy places like Germany and NYC.

    I think poets have a lot in common with visual artists, whose work necessarily taps into the subconscious, whose images are often drawn from the same sources (history, mythology, pop culture) as ours. Yumiko’s work draws on old e

    Scarecrow Fallen in Battle: Part I

    Some time ago, I encountered a word so specific that it could only be Japanese:

    野分 or 野分き (のわき: late autumn windstorm in the countryside, typically caused by a typhoon or cyclone, esp. on the 210th and the 220th days of the year)    field + to divide

    When people calculate the 210th day of the year, they don't start counting from January 1. Rather, they begin with the first day of spring in the traditional Japanese calendar. Known as 立春 (りっしゅん), that day now tends to fall on February 4. Therefore, Days 210 (二百十日, にひゃくとおか) and 220 (二百二十日, にひゃくはつか) are around September 1 and September 11.

    On those dates, the wind is supposed to be strongest in Japan, so farmers there have long kept the two 野分 dates in mind in a cautionary way.

    The word 野分 is quite old. It literally means "to divide the grass on the field," as when wind parts grasses during a storm. This reminds me of one of my favorite words:

    草分け (くさわけ: pioneer)    grass + to divide

    It's as if trailblazers divide the grasses, creating a path for the rest of us to follow.

    Flattened rice field after a typhoon. The Wikipedia caption for this photo is 倒伏した稲:

    倒伏 (とうふく: falling down)
    稲 (いね: rice plant)

    I never expected to encounter 野分 in real life, but then I spotted it right at the beginning of a haiku posted on Facebook! Yoshikazu Kunugi wrote the haiku, which charmed me to no end:

    野分過ぎ　
    案山子討ち死に　
    朝日射し

    typhoon gone
    a scarecrow fell in battle
    morning sunshine

    -過ぎ (-すぎ: after)
    案山子 (かかし: scarecrow; figurehead)
    討ち死に (うちじに: dying in battle)
    朝日 (あさひ: morning sun)
    射し (さし: sunlight; rays of the sun)

    A scarecrow fallen in battle! What a fantastic image, particularly if one thinks of the feckless scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz. Can you imagine his battling either an army or the elements?
