About the author

Reviews

[Sarah Cypher · Rating 2 out of 5]

The Basho school of haiku is fascinating, but I'm afraid this academic book was over my head. I found that to appreciate the art of haiku, it is better to imitate the masters and then re-read the poetry. Extensive footnoting and blustery introductions makes this weighty collection more helpful to scholars of the form, and not the casual reader.
