The definitive anthology-unrivalled in scope and content
A millennium and a half old, Japan's poetry is widely known and
loved around the world. Covering the earliest primitive period
through the Nara, Heian, Kamakura, Muramachi, and Edo periods,
right up to the modern day, "The Penguin Book of Japanese Verse"
contains more than 700 poems, including short forms such as tanka
and haiku, as well as folk-poetry, and more complex verse with
which Western readers may be less familiar. Whether read for
pleasure or scholarship, this accessible translation displays the
full wit, sorrow, and subtlety of Japanese poetry and will remain
the authoritative volume for years to come.
