| Sumario: | To go without aim, without destination and on foot. That is the journey of the late Zen monk, walker and haiku poet Taneda Santōka. What singularities propitiates his journey to poetic writing? This paper answers this question based on theoretical reflection and reading of Santōka's Mendicant Diaries. Considering the travel theories of David Le Breton and Michel Onfray, we revisit the concepts of walking, paths and slowness to analyze a selection of haikus and fragments from the 1930 travel diary. Thus, this paper aims to construct a poetics of wandering as a tool to approach Santōka's work. |
