 University of Delaware: CID CORMAN JOURNALS
Corman was notably consistent in his manner of composing the journals, dating each entry in the left margin and almost always starting each new journal without an interruption of dates.
Corman typically filled each journal before starting a new one, except in the case of a travel journal, which he used specifically for his trip.
In the middle- to late-1950s Corman was traveling, working, and living in Europe before finally settling in Japan, and the dominant themes of this period include observations on literature, art, and the foreign cultures that he encountered.

Reading Cid’s words of advice (sometimes a bit harsh to be sure) was a trial by fire and I think he’d sense by my replies that I welcomed that from him and sought that kind of criticism.
Cid seemed to be telling me to simply enjoy the view while you can, breathe the air, taste your food, prepare for your life, don’t rush, don’t compromise.
Cid spoke to me in these letters as if I were an equal and not a mere novice although that’s precisely what I was.

 A Faithful Account of Where I Live: The Letters of Cid Corman and William Bronk
Nevertheless, the early letters between Bronk and Corman mask a layer of tension that seethes beneath the surface and would come to a head in the first letter of this selection, Bronk's letter dated the 1st of June 1961.
Like nearly all of Bronk's letters, these to Corman were handwritten and signed, which suggests an intimacy, while the enclosed poems, on the other hand, were usually typed.
His letters tended to be short in length (like his poems) but that length did not diminish the direct, personal quality of his correspondence nor his urgency, as he remarks in the final letter of this selection, to engage the emptiness and the silence, the result of which is his poems, essays, and letters-Bronk's legacy.

 CID CORMAN IN CONVERSATION
CORMAN: Well, the final two are the same size exactly, so all the volumes are the same: There are 750 poems in each volume, and it's one book, it's not a Selected or Collected Poems, it's a single book and there's nothing like it in the history of mankind -- very simply.
CORMAN: Yeah, it's a business in itself, and of course most of the poets in America and elsewhere write for the academy and most of them are teachers themselves.
CORMAN: I said, "You wouldn't be able to publish anything else, if you started publishing me. You don't have any idea what you're saying." Well then he said, "Well, let's do something together." He repeated that he was rich several times on the phone, then he came over here.

 MH Book Review—Corman 2004
Cid Corman, for those not familiar with his work, is a well-known poet in English who has lived in Japan for many years.
In Corman’s translation there is a shadowy figure of a monk (or someone who looks like a monk) riding a horse on a cold winter day.
In this case Corman has produced an attractive haiku in English; however, it is clearly a “version” or variation on a poem by Bashô rather than a translation.

As Thomas has noted previously, it's hard to find a good English haiku (that is, a haiku specifically written in Engilsh, as opposed to translations of Japanese haiku, of which many excellent examples exist)[1].
Corman, though, has written a number of poems that, while not haiku, have been influenced by the form.
It feels to me like the summa poetica of Corman's work, where he stands up to be counted.

From Cid's own neighborhood of Kyoto, reports after his death only reveal how broken up many are - the post office, where Cid compassed out to the rest of the world with his by-the-hour packages and correspondence - closed down for the day out of sorrow.
Cid, in fact, was a well known American poet/expatriate by any number of poets - and almost taken for granted by his own generation back in the States - he was quite lively and grabbing new readers by the handfuls with younger poets at home and overseas.

 Nothing Doing:0811214257:Corman, Cid:eCampus.com
Corman is one of modernism's enduring masters, a poet of prodigious talent and production whose work, both as poet and publisher, is intertwined with the Objectivists Louis Zukofsky and George Oppen, as well as the Black Mountain poets Robert Creeley and Charles Olson.
Among such modern giants, Corman's verse is perhaps the most refined, refusing the temptation of "effect" for the tactile ink of line and "touch".
Nothing/Doing presents a vital poetry of zen koan and cognitive conundrum, but also one of uncompromising wisdom, where Corman can definitively declare: "There's only/one poem: / this is it".
