#vss365 #start OK… Gabriela, let’s start ‼️‼️‼️ Let’s make Haiku an UNESCO recognized treasure ‼️ Who? Us 🌹 Literary Revelations announces a new anthology – Haiku: A Global Manifesto for UNESCO Recognition, in collaboration with the Haiku UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Registration Promotion Council. This curated anthology is conceived not merely as a book, but as a living record of community consensus—a collective voice brought together to support the formal nomination of Haiku for the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Statement of Support / 俳句ユネスコ無形文化遺産登録推進について We are profoundly humbled to share the official endorsement and message of support provided by Kenzo Nomura, Chairman of the Haiku UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Registration Promotion Council: “Haiku, the world’s shortest fixed-form poetry, originated in Japan and is now enjoyed in over 200 countries worldwide. This poetic form, which captures a moment in a few words, historically had a basic structure centered on seasonal words and a 5-7-5 syllable pattern. However, it has now spread both domestically and internationally in various forms, including non-seasonal and free-verse poems, likely because it is a poetic form that is easily accessible to people all over the world. Haiku allows us to express everything from familiar things to the universe, condensing them into extremely short words. What haiku can contribute to the world is not only its appreciation of nature, but also its ability to cultivate the ability to view and think about subjects from a social and global perspective. As haiku spreads throughout the world, it will foster greater awareness of the importance of harmony and cooperation. Even if its influence grows only little by little, we believe that haiku can contribute to building a better world. Through the publication of this joint collection of haiku, we hope to share our philosophy with people around the world: that promoting the registration of haiku as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage is an expression of our heartfelt wish for world peace.” 俳句ユネスコ無形文化遺産登録推進協議会 会長 能村研三 日本発祥の世界最短の定型詩 HAIKU は、いまでは世界の200カ国以上で愛好されています。瞬間を短い言葉で捉えるこの詩型は、季語と575の音を中心とする型が、歴史的な基本形でしたが、いまでは無季や自由律を含むさまざまな形で国内外に広まっているのは、世界の誰にでも親しみやすい詩型だからでしょう。 俳句ではきわめて短い言葉に凝縮して、身近なものから宇宙に至るまで、自然や森羅万象を表現できます。HAIKU が世界に貢献しうるものは、自然ばかりではなく社会的かつ世界的な視野から対象を見つめ、考える力を養うことです。 世界に HAIKU が広がることで、調和や協調を尊重する意識が高まり、少しずつでも広がっていけば、HAIKU はよりよい世界を作ることにも貢献できると言えるでしょう。この合同句集刊行に際して、世界平和を祈念する我々の俳句ユネスコ無形文化遺産登録推進の理念をご理解いただければ幸いです。 — Kenzo Nomura / 能村研三 Chairman, Haiku UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Registration Promotion Council / 俳句ユネスコ無形文化遺産登録推進協議会 会長 Call for submissions coming soon ‼️‼️‼️ #literaryrevlations #Haiku #AGlobalManifestoforUNESCO #kenzonomura #haikuheritage #Japan #globalhaiku #gabrielamariemilton

***** Earth's Last Hope vs Andy Weir’s The Martian ***** #EditorialReview #AndyWeir #TheMartian #BookToc "What would you do???" Thank you! Share yours, follow, be kind. #ShamelessSelfpromoWednesday Video AI generated by the real me. All book links on blog whenangelsfly(.)net $2.99 "Yellowstone is permanently neutralized, alien technology removes volcanic ash from the atmosphere, nanobots assist with cleanup, and a new source of clean energy helps humanity rebuild. In that sense, the book reminded me somewhat of Andy Weir’s The Martian. Both stories enjoy explaining solutions instead of simply announcing that a problem has been solved. Weir tends to build those solutions through tightly constrained engineering and scientific problem-solving, while Schmidt blends scientific explanation with speculative technology, government coordination, faith, and family life. Her canvas is also much larger. Instead of one person trying to stay alive, she follows an entire society trying to figure out what living should look like after almost losing the planet." amazon.com/Earths-Last-Hope-… #Yellowstone #Denver #NORAD #scifi #BooksWorthReading #PsychologicalThriller #Suspense #BookBoost #BookTok #ChristmasGiftIdeas #BookTokBookClub @LiteraryTitan @Irishgirl692 @inspiredbylaban @loveGoldenHeart @davepperlmutter @ninsthewriter @Ivyloganauthor @ShenaeChase @Kalimaxos1 @jgmacleodauthor @Merriman1792 @ITSPOSSIBLE_Rod @EveKoguce @YouAreTheExpert @SkyWatcher_HL @AikinNorb @STrueshan @SWilkingHoran @impoliticpolit @NiciStefanie @Kellyrei007 @A_DiAngelo @ANelsonLMPotter @Thief_Of_Harts @Adele_Royce @JayeTroop @MaryLSchmidt
