Haiku and Tanka from the heart of a Japanese poet.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Autumn Wind: A Selection from the Poems of Issa (Paperback)
Issa's poems written about the death of his two-year old daughter and other tragedies in his life are short, concise and heart-wrenching. His poems that relate Mother nature and human nature, without a glaringly obvious connection, are well-crafted and thought-provoking. I especially enjoyed the biographical section in the beginning of the book, and the annotations accompanying many of the poems which gave me (a gaijin) a better understanding of Japanese culture and background for the poems. I highly recommend this book not only for Issa's poems but for the editor and translator's obvious knowledge of Japan, its people and customs.
