Editorial Reviews
Review
“Lucid and engaging, this translation, a gift of careful attention, does not separate poetry from spiritual practice. Basho becomes our guide on the way of insight. Such is the magic for a fine translation.”—Margaret Gibson, Tricycle
“Sam Hamill achieves a kind of luminosity of language that I find unparalleled in other translations.”—Burton Watson
Product Description
Basho is best known in the West as the author of Narrow Road to the Interior, a travel diary of linked prose and haiku that recounts his journey through the far northern provinces of Japan. This volume includes beautiful Japanese-style illustrations by Stephen Addiss.
