HAIKU - AN ANTHOLOGY OF JAPANESE POEMS

More than last year it is lonely the autumn dusk Buson Haiku, one of the most popular forms of poetry, is celebrated here in all its subtle glory. This anthology brings together the most important poets in the haiku traditionincluding Basho, Buson, and Issaalong with surprising and lesser-known Japanese haiku poets. In only three short lines, the poems express the miracle of a particular moment, the profundity of the human experience, and sometimes, the humor of life. These elegant translations are paired with traditional woodblock prints and beautifully presented in the elegant Shambhala Library series.
