| Ito Hiromi ????? "Coyote" ??????Thu, 08 Jan 2009 11:29:13 -0800 by jeffreyanglesThis film shows the Japanese poet Ito Hiromi reading excerpts from her poem "Coyote" at Western Michigan University on October 3, 2008. The translation by Jeffrey Angles is from _A Map Marked in a Foreign Tongue: Poems of Ito Hiromi_ (Action Books, forthcoming in 2009). In the 1980s, Ito became fascinated with the poetic traditions of Native Americans which she read in the modern, colloquial translations of Kanaseki Hisao. She was struck by the combination of ancient myth and contemporary language, and soon afterward, she tried her own hand at using contemporary spoken language to write in a semi-mythological mode. This poem is one result of that interest. Shamanism and magic remained an important part of everyday life in the remote regions of Japan until relatively recently. Itos grandmother was a shamaness who claimed to speak to the dead, and Itos mother claimed to have magical powers and taught her children her spells. This poem explores the mystical connection between Ito and the various generations of women in her family. "Coyote" also derive inspiration from the German performance artist Joseph Beuys. In 1974, he came to New York and immediately installed himself in a gallery, where he remained in a small room with a coyote for three days. Beuys later explained his piece, "I wanted to isolate myself, insulate myself, see nothing of America other than the coyote." Through forging a spiritual connection with this animal, which Native Americans had believed to be divine, Beuys hoped to come to start the process of making amends for the destruction waged upon the culture and environment of the Native Americans. The exchange between the coyote and the daughter quoted in the poem contains a bastardized quote from the Heart Sutra (Hanya shingyo), a short Buddhist sutra which some sects believe to express the essential concepts of the religion. The sutra concludes with a mantra, which if read in Japanese, states "Gyatei Gyatei Haragyatei Harasogyatei Boji Sowaka" (Gone, gone, to the other shore, gone, reach, accomplish enlightenment). In the poem, the coyote and the daughter do not repeat the excerpt from the Heart Sutra accurately. If anything, it becomes a symbol of a sort of mysterious, mystical exchange between them.
