Synopsis:
The only collection of haiku by Japanese women, this volume includes translations of 400 haiku written by 20 poets from the seventeenth century (Basho's school) to the second half of the twentieth.
"This book breaks new ground and provides an important entree into the subject of women's haiku for English readers. Deeply moving, amusing, insightful, thought provoking, and breathtakingly beautiful by turns, the poems in this volume cover a wide range of human experience. They reveal both the continuity of a haiku sensibility over the centuries and individual difference. And how good it is to see the women haiku students of Basho getting their due!". Sonja Arntzen.
"Makoto Ueda has given us several great gifts with his book on women haiku poets: introductions to a host of writers previously unknown to readers in English; concise and eloquent translations of their work, and a revised view of the history of haiku. Its richness increases with every reading." Amy Heinrich. |
