Whether through lyrical celebrations of the wonders of nature;
paeans to the steadfastness of women; or salutations to the world
leaders who have in their various ways provided inspiration to his
lifelong devotion to the causes of peace, justice and education,
Daisaku Ikeda in his poems expresses unwavering commitment to the
development of a humanistic global culture. These translations, the
first of a three-volume collection and based on the Japanese
Complete Works of Daisaku Ikeda (Ikeda Daisaku zenshu), cover the
years 1945-2007, and explore the many subjects to which the leader
of the Soka Gakkai International has devoted his 'poetic heart and
mind.' The translators have sought to reproduce the rhythms and
timbres of a voice, which- though influenced by the likes of
Whitman, Defoe, Dumas, Ibsen, Emerson and Shelley- is yet
distinctive and unique. Sometimes the poet adopts a simple
vernacular note; at other times the compression associated with
Japanese poeic forms haiku and waka. But at all times the poetry
maintains a stately rhythm that reflects the dignity of ordinary
language and expression. This collection will delight readers
familiar with the prose writings of the author as well as those
coming to his work for the first time. The poems within it speak,
with freedom and feeling, of a world where genuine poetry reigns
supreme- and of a world where poetic perception becomes a
perception of interconnectedness; between friends. between humanity
and nature, or between humanity and the cosmos.
