In this episode, we explore how haiku breaks away from the structures of normal sentence-based language. From notions of spontaneous grammars to the disruptive grammars of the "Cut" in haiku, we question why readers and editors often impose standard grammatical expectations on a poetic form that may not want them. Through examples and thought experiments, we ask: If a haiku isn’t a sentence, what is it—and what kind of grammar does it create?</span></span><span class="EOP SCXW70420536 BCX4" data-ccp-props= "{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559685":0,"335559737":0,"335559738":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p> </div> <div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW70420536 BCX4"> <p class="Paragraph SCXW70420536 BCX4"><span class= "TextRun SCXW70420536 BCX4" lang="EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto"><span class= "NormalTextRun SCXW70420536 BCX4">Contact the Haiku Theory Podcast by <a href="mailto:haikutheory@gmail.com">Emailing Us Here</a>.</span></span><span class= "LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW70420536 BCX4"><span class= "SCXW70420536 BCX4"> </span><br class= "SCXW70420536 BCX4" /></span><span class= "LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW70420536 BCX4"><span class= "SCXW70420536 BCX4"> </span><br class= "SCXW70420536 BCX4" /></span><span class= "TextRun SCXW70420536 BCX4" lang="EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto"><span class= "NormalTextRun SCXW70420536 BCX4">This episode’s music was recorded by Graham at his old piano and is titled, “Waltz of Gold.” </span></span><span class="EOP SCXW70420536 BCX4" data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> </div>
