1.0 out of 5 stars Nonsense, March 24, 2007

This review is from: The Complete Basho Poems (Paperback)

First, do not be deceived by this title. This volume has nothing to do with hokku/haiku poet Basho. NONE of his verses (in translation) are included within. Instead we have a collection of juvenile poems, limericks, random thoughts and utter nonsense supposedly inspired by the real Basho. Everything within (including a fictitious "interview" with Basho) is written as comedy and never refers to the Japanese poet's works. Truly bizarre and completely unfunny.

this is the polar opposite of basho poetry: it's garbage written by an untalented author. if anything, it's mocking, obnoxious and misleading. don't fall for it. don't buy this book.
