5.0 out of 5 stars Small but contains the universe.., August 1, 2001
By 
This review is from: Inch by Inch: 45 Haiku by Issa (Paperback)
Another treasure from one of the world's greatest-somewhat-unknown poets...more more more is all I can say! To see his translations in his own hand is the greatest thrill, as well as the brief but wonderful interview at the end conducted by the editor and publishers. A true touchstone for living dharma and freedom.

4.0 out of 5 stars A touch on the down side, January 25, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Inch by Inch: 45 Haiku by Issa (Paperback)
Issa was a brilliant poet, but given his rather difficult life, his poems tend towards the down side. One of the reasons I love haiku is that they are generally rather joyful, and Issa's work rarely is. However, if you don't mind the down, Issa was a master with words.
