Reviews

[Linda]

Published in 1947 and while the translated haiku follow older tastes (forced rhyming), it is still a worthwhile read to understand the era of haiku being introduced to the West. Also contains some of the first haiku written in English, along with translations of Japanese haiku into English.

[Dan Burt]

Outdated haiku translations and interpretations (titles, rhymes, et al.).
