Disappointed
(my remarks pertain to particular edition, NOT to Haijin~sei* Basho)
(* if 'sensei' is teacher, or master of a particular art or skill, and if 'kensei' is a sword-saint (Musashi Miyamato or Yagyu Munenori), then let us agree that 'Haijin (haiku poet) ~sei is intended to mean Haiku - saint.)
— sigh ... live and learn
Choose better Basho volumes
wasted 10 dollars
8 more words are not needed for this
